And then, guess what happens? After denying it for long enough and continuing to place yourself in those stressful situations (but really, what's so stressful about walking down the sidewalk?? Jeepers!).....well, you tend to lose your coping skills. And then the REAL fun begins. If you thought you were anxious before, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet!!

You're speaking my language, Sandy. I was in denial for quite a while. I know that feeling you describe oh so well. Even when I got to the point where I was afraid to leave my flat, I STILL had a whole lot of trouble admitting that I had an anxiety problem... because I was too damn strong and competent and independent... to have an anxiety problem. It couldn't happen to me!!! I didn't start getting better until I admitted it and sought treatment, though.
