I booked an appointment with my doctor to discuss my anxiety. This is the first time I’ve ever made a legitimate effort to get help.

I think I’ve always had some low level anxiety. I’ve always catastophized. (“Getting an F means I won’t graduate and won’t get a job and then I’ll be homeless...” irrational stuff like that).

Then in college, I had panic attacks for a while.

It’s been half a decade though of mostly peace, and then - COVID. I’ve been having full blown anxiety attacks - gasping, nausea, gagging, impending sense of doom, etc. 

I don’t know what my doctor will say, but it seemed like something I should ask her about. Wish me luck? 🤷‍♀️
