My Anxiety Page Has Been Visited
Everybody experiences anxiety from time to time. Divorce, marriage, new job, new baby, new school, presentations,etc. These are the kinds of things that are accepted as a "normal" amount of anxiety, but some of us wake up every morning with those "butterflies" in our stomach and may not always be able to figure out just where they're coming from. Some of us walk into a grocery store and feel a sudden need to escape, an urge to run out of there like we were being chased by wild animals. If you experience any of these symptoms: nervousness, feeling "jittery", stomach problems, shaking, difficulty breathing, racing thoughts, mind going blank, feelings of wanting to jump out of your skin, difficulty swallowing, heart pounding, etc, continually for a significant amount of time and/or they interfere with your life/ability to function, you may have an anxiety disorder. There are other symptoms not listed here and some symptoms may be caused by another problem or illness. For a proper diagnosis, always see your doctor. Be sure to check out my links below for more information about symptoms, anxiety disorders, related disorders, treatments, and support!
I suffer from a severe anxiety disorder and that is why I thought this page would be a good idea in providing links to info and support for friends, family and sufferes. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail if you see something I should add to this page or want to share your own story/struggles concerning anxiety or related issues. Together we can help keep people informed about how serious anxiety is and come up with treatments that work. Help support anxiety sufferers by being informed!
