It seems (from mere speculation) that most people on here with anxiety have a social anxiety or have extreme panic attacks.. To be completely honest I don’t even know much about my own anxiety let alone other types, but I haven’t met anyone else with GAD. I’ve had it for five years now, which is crazy to me because I’m just now finally taking steps to manage it. I never let it take over my life, I play basketball for my college and I have great grades and awesome family and friends.. But people don’t understand it. Especially with GAD, it’s hard for people to comprehend because there is no real source of the anxiety, it just happens and it’s constant. People just think I’m a worrier and it’s part of my personality, and I want to be able to tell people when I become close with them about it, but I don’t think they’ll be able to understand. I don’t feel sorry for myself at all and I don’t know exactly what I’m asking for from this post, maybe I just want to talk to someone that knows what I’m talking about but I don’t know
