Yea, I have anxiety problems. I used to have daily panic attacks do bad I was afraid to leave my bedroom to go to my bathroom thinking I'd have a panic. I've learned to cope with anxiety a lot better since then. Rarely have a panic attack and now I'm aware of what it is so, I just go with it. Really, it's just disordered anxiety. Meditation has help so has just facing it. I know some of the anxiety I have isn't appropriate so I face my fears head on.

Only a few months after being terrified of leaving my room I was on a 16 hour flight moving half way around the world. I guess I'm stubborn.

Now my anxiety only gets to be a bother when my mood is out of whack. Sure, anxiety isn't technically a bipolar mood symptom but, when your senses get so big, colours so bright and the world feels like its closing in on you, mind racing, hearing things and nonsense ideas out of no where, who wouldn't be anxious? I have a hard time believing my "mania" is actually manic and not really a very optimistic take on anxiety. If feels good to be in a constant state of panic.
