Anxiety has been with me since I was about 6 years old. It never ever goes away, even though it occasionally recedes. When it is severe, I get OCD like symptoms. It wears me out a lot so I try not to over commit myself to outside activities. My ultra sensitive senses complicate it. Usually, I avoid places that overwhelm my senses, so my social life is quite limited.
My poor stomach is almost always in knots. Sometimes, I even get nasty headaches and tense back muscles. I also have a mild tremor.
I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Medication has helped.
I worry about everything.
