I just don't understand what to do anymore to try and contextualize how I feel. There are people in my life that I don't want to cut out - but am thinking about it because they sometimes will just say "You're just anxious" as an off-button to whatever it is I may be feeling. 

I've been diagnosed with GAD for years now; I know the difference between my clear head and when I'm anxious. I just don't know how to express to my loved ones that I, in fact, know the difference between the two. Does anyone else feel like this?
