I get it. I completely get it. We all experience anxiety on different levels with different symptoms under different circumstances — however, i have come to believe that i am somebody that has been dealt the cards of having anxiety as part of my brain structure. I have been on medications for a while, and in an attempt to withdraw from them, i learned that medication and therapy is something that i, well, need. And i have come to accept that truth. 

My question is, how do you people that feel this way, feel when people express that anxiety is just something you have to work through? I feel that i could go to therapy everyday but i would still feel the intense struggles still. How do you feel when people tell you that they “used to have it” or make other assumptions based on what THEY felt? 

I am frustrated, sad, and feeling defeated about this. If anybody can share your thoughts on this at all i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
