Anxiety is so hard to live with. I can’t remember a time where I wasn’t anxious. I have to take medication just to function normally (I’m an RN) and speak to people. My family doesn’t understand. And I feel like I’m constantly in pain emotionally. It’s simultaneously hard experiencing anxiety and I think it’s also hard for my family to deal with me. Most of the time I try to hide it and I live in agony because no one can relate.
