My therapist phoned and so I made an appointment in two weeks cuz she'll be gone next week - And it's over the phone.

She said that I have anxiety. I said that I'm still not really sure what anxiety is so she gave me a website to look at and then I'm supposed to tell her about how it relates to me.

I think of anxiety as physical anxiety (I don't get that because of the atenolol) but I suppose I have mental anxiety (Which isn't derealization/depersonalization that used to cause my panic attacks).

The thing is, I remember telling her that I liked having mental anxiety because it helps with my personal development - But sometimes I get tired of it and that happens to a lot of people with anxiety... They take an anti-anxiety medication.

My mom and her sister (My aunt) have the worst anxiety I've ever seen in a person but my mom functions really well with it. Her mom (My grandmother) probably still takes Valium.. (She used to order it online) So it's genetic.
