She didn't believe you?! I find that so very odd. One doesn't have to look like a textbook example for anxiety to feel it. Good for you that you know how you feel and choose well who to share it with. But many people do need a validation from their therapist when sharing such feelings and experiences, and I find it outrageous that a therapist would respond that way.
Thanks for this!
