I took time off work because of paralyzing anxiety one day hit me like a truck. I have coworkers asking where I am, and if I am okay. I feel so bad and miss some of them. I am not even going to be there to say goodbye to one of my friends that is moving to another position. I hate anxiety, and I hate how it is controlling my life. I cannot even be around a large crowd without having a panic attack. I just want this feeling to go away! I just want to cry!
