I recently started going to therapy to work through a traumatic event that happened in my life, and I had a major realization that all these things I’ve been experiencing throughout my entire life that I thought were “normal” were actually anxiety. I’m very new to caring for my mental health, so since my last appointment with my therapist I’ve been researching all about anxiety and I finally feel understood. I read an article all about social anxiety and I just cried. It perfectly described all these intense feelings I’ve been having for so many years. I’m looking forward to embarking on this journey of caring for myself and learning more about anxiety and needed to share with a community who understands too.
