Explaining Anxiety Disorder

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.

Myth! How many believe in the power of Metaphor?

Now that is a simple question, are there alternatives ... vertigo images of Black and White Chaos ... entering the pure realm of Love and no reason or the opposing realm of pure thought and loosing all desire to hurt the traveling companion?

Wired, wye'd or weird!

What scares a strong person more: love or intelligence?
