" I get nervous too"
Being nervous and being anxious is totally different. You can get rid of nerves...being anxious is something your brain is telling your body to feel.
"You're fine"
I know I physically look fine, but inside my mind I'm dying!
" Why can't you just get rid of it?"
Anxiety isn’t something you can get rid of. It doesn’t go away. My brain was made like this. I’ll always be in a constant state of panic. I'll always have anxiety!
" I don't know how to help you"
I don't want your help! I want you to hug me and tell me that it's OK! I just want you to be there for me and not think I'm silly for feeling like this!
" Why not count to 10... maybe that will calm you down"
To be totally honest counting to ten does shit for me. If you're having a panic attack you can barley focus on breathing, let alone counting.
Being in a constant state of panic, can be hard. But having anxiety makes me who I am. I'm sorry if me having anxiety is annoying to you, but I'm happy with who I am. It was the way I was made.
