Grey,

We anxiety sufferers struggle under an illusion. We think that the feeling we have with anxiety is the same as the feeling of a physical illness. Well it's not, it has its own special taste.

I have had both double pneumonia and bronchitis at different times of my life, and I didn't feel 'ill' like I do with anxiety. It was a completely different challenge. The feeling of anxiety is a special feeling with a special nastiness, and for some reason we keep mixing it up with other physical stuff.

One hospital consultant said "Having a panic attack is the illest that a person can feel."

But it's still a feeling.

Good thoughts, Myzen
