its weird cus sometimes I feel like I'm in control and sometimes the total opposite. Many times my anxiety is caused because I feel like the anxiety symptoms are doing physical harm to me which scares the hell out of me (if that makes any sense). This is the only reason I consider taking the meds - because I don't want anxiety to do any physical harm to me while I'm trying to conquer it. Also right now I'm not very busy which I think makes a big difference. I am 24 and I've just gone back to school to attain my second bachelors degree - I go to school 2 days a week and I'm not working right now so it leaves me with plenty of time to think which I feel is bad for me. I know I should get a job but its hard when I feel anxious so often. My doctor said I should exercise but I don't feel like it. I also feel like I'm having trouble concentrating in school and I don't want it to effect my grades. I also have a girlfriend and I don't let her know the extent of my problem because maybe I feel like she won't want to be with me anymore if because of it. I know I'm thinking really stupid but I have no confidence when I feel like this.
