My name is Anna,
I havent had anxiety for long at all. And didnt really know much about it at all until i started having really bad anxiety. I feel like it has completly shut my life down. Im a very social person, who loves to travel and has many dreams and aspirations...Maybe its a sighn that i need to slow down.

Lots of stessfull things have happened in my life this year that has probably pushed me towards anxiety. I had always had little anxiety attacks, but my first real BIG ONE, or panic attack i ended up going to the hospital and my biggest fear was...I didnt know what to do about it. So every sence then i have dedicated ALOT of time researching about anxiety and how to cope with it.

My Fiance has Anxiety also. He had always talked about it, but didnt really like to share when he had anxiety attacks because i didnt really understand where he was comming from. But now that we both have anxiety we can lean on eachother for support. And help eachother get through this....I honestly have no idea how i would cope with this without him. I would probably feel very alone and depressed. Im so so thankfull that i have someone there for me all the time that i can talk to whenever i fell an attack comming on. Hes truly my life savior, and my world. And i love him uncondiotanlly.

Latley its been a little bit harder because Mike (my fiance) is in Indiana and im in FL without him. But ive been going to college, and exercising everyday, getting a good amount of sleep, and maintaining a good diet.

I could be better, but im coping with this well.

Hi Anna,

It is handy to have a partner who understands what you are going through. My partner gets upset when I take xanax...I try to tell her when I take xanax, it is the only time I get to feel some what like a normal person. I really wish she could be in my body just for one day so she can understand how horrible it can be.

Welcome to the forum!

Hi all

Yep it's really hard to explain to others what this feels like, cos until you experience it you have no idea how terrifying it is.
