you know how tooth pain radiates and can feel like its coming from multiple areas, even though theres only one source? i think my anxiety can be like that, but i’m not sure. (leave it to the person with anxiety disorders to feel insecure about their knowledge 🤪)

for example, i’ll wonder if theres something wrong with my boyfriend’s mood (or my relationship as a whole) just because its a ‘reason to be anxious’ that my brain latches onto, i guess. its not the cause for my anxiety, but i get anxious and paranoid all the same.

i have a hard time remembering that i have clinical-grade, purposeless general anxiety with no cause. does anyone else’s GAD seep into things or bring unnecessary concerns? :(
