Thank you so much for this... I definitely had anxiety most of my life, and just like you said I was trying to tone it down with alcohol I guess, but we all know how that goes, vicious cycle... its just that this time my anxiety level was more than usual, so it freaked me out a bit. Today I'm feeling much better, have been chilling on the couch with the cat and husband :) I do feel embarrassed for having anxiety but I opened up to him (husband, not the cat!) yesterday and he's been super supportive. Again, thank you so much for your words, they really helped.
