Yup - that drives me nuts too. Even worse are the medical professionals who know nothing about your specific issues and say "all you need to do is this to overcome whatever you're dealing with." I'm sorry, but no one has the exact same problem, because no one is exactly the same person.
I get really frustrated when people tell me "just take some deep breaths and you'll be fine, everyone gets nervous." Yeah...it's not just nervous, it's full blown panic with nausea, shaking hands, racing heart, frozen in fear. If it were just being nervous, I wouldn't need therapy or meds.
