I always overthink things. I worry that the worst will happen and I always have. My nerves keep me from getting important things done and from doing my best on tasks. Uncontrollable shaking, crying, and just a sickening fear that I feel in the pit of my stomach accompanies a lot of daily tasks for me. My therapist at college says that I might have an anxiety issue. I don't quite understand anxiety. I don't have what I'd consider to be panic attacks. My therapist wants me to get on a medication that would treat my depression and anxiety. My mom doesn't think I need medication. My pediatrician told me to talk through it in therapy. I agree I shouldn't go on medication, and I'm not sure if I actually have anxiety? My best friend told me "Everyone has anxiety, it's normal." I always get into rants. What does anxiety feel like for you? What is anxiety?
