That's not normal?

I dunno, Falls. I think you're asking the wrong group of people.

I fall face forward into a forgetting sleep when I'm anxious. Or upset.

I can't do my work on my best days.

It just doesn't sound all that abnormal to me. It sounds like basic human nature.

Now... My husband would haul himself up and do whatever needs doing despite his anxiety. Then he'd yell at me or my son, or scare the dogs.

So I guess there are people who go on with doing what needs to be done regardless of their feelings. Yank themselves up by the bootstraps, yada, yada.

But they've got their own ways of letting that anxiety out.

There are worse ways of coping than distraction, Falls. Maybe there are better ways too, like getting all involved in work. But there are also worse ways, like yelling at your family.

But as gg said, maybe the significant thing was your anxiety and why you were anxious. Rather than how you coped with that anxiety.
