This I'm sure isn't going to be a revelation to most of you. 

I'm sitting in the dark doing some thinking (I've been trying to think more since I've been improving from my chronic anxiety I've had since September) and I started down the same path of pity I like to trod down. The "why me" and "I wish this was easier" and I was thinking on some other junk I read on To Afraid To Ask about thinking how a severe accident or unfortunate circumstances that would theoretically happen to you might win you favor or pay back people who have wronged you.  That and since other what nots and a nice thought popped in my head. 

I've literally never had a unique experience or thought.

This applies to both my life and my anxiety. Someone else is suffering exactly like me and I should be fortunate enough to know why I am going through this. Not only that but that makes me normal when I've never felt more abnormal. It also makes me feel comforted even knowing I'm destined to struggle more at least for a while. 

Knowing I'm not special and coming to terms with the fact that my struggles are not unique is both sad and happy.
