This is hard to explain but over and over throughout my life people will comment on my anxiety, even when I feel “normal.” I always forget I have severe anxiety because I have been this way since I can remember. It’s more like hyper awareness or hyper vigilance maybe. But anyways it’s strange that other people are perceiving even my everyday anxiety as “panic.” Ive also never really had a panic attack but my boyfriend did, and he used to tell me “you’re having a panic attack” and I told him no I was just really anxious. My therapist said something similar.
