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.

Makes sense...well all have anxiety in my family...plus I truly feel that it’s a common comorbidity and contributes To psychosis in some cases.
