Anxiety Fighters part ii

I want a community of people who suffer from anxiety disorders, know it, and want to talk to others who go through the same things they do. People that want to keep up with the latest research, news, clinical trials, legistlative action, alternative therapies and self help gurus and books. If you have ever had af four day anxiety attack, you know what I'm talking about. If not, stick around anyway.

We are in the grips of a disorder which the medical/scientific establishment knows very little, in comparison with say, Diabetes. Some would say, pepole die with Diabetes. I would answer people die wtih anxiety too. The body is stressed by four days of intense phsycial torment, or the person who upon leaving their house suffers sensations of terror and danger. These are not fun, and they are not funny. This is the experience of millions of Americans.

The problem lies in the statement, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You know what? I can't think how a bootstrap is going to help my heart stop racing and my skin burning, while what feel like jolts of electricity scamper about my body!

It is not hard to understand why no one talks about this happening to them when the response is always going to be at your expense, or the word gets out that you're a little too sensitive. And if you are the least bit social phobic, then the world is convinced then your stuck up. We've heard it all.

We can join together to share our experiences, talk about the treaments that worked for us, form a support system for those who are just starting to suspect they might have an anxiety disorder. I need people with me on this. Are you willing?
