Hi folks

Those of you who are regular posters, know that I learn through story and questioning.

I'm wondering if those who have experience with anxiety disorders or just anxiety in general, would be willing to offer stories, tricks, insight.

I find my frustration is high as I have to increase my engagement with someone who has throughout their life struggled with anxiety.  By learning through you, I am hoping that I may  think of alternates to my approach.

I'm a worrier. I worry about pretty much anything and everything. However, it is only recently that I've realized just how bad it is. I've dealt with some anxiety on and off again for several years, but mostly thought that it was just school stress and normal life "stuff". I just figured I got stressed out a bit more easily than most people. But lately, things have gotten a lot worse. I missed a few days of school. I was feeling stressed out, so I thought taking a short break might help. It didn't.
