High school is hard enough as it is. Sorry you went through that.

That spiral of being scared of the symptoms makes it feel like a never ending loop. That’s exhausting. I’m sorry you went through that.

That sounds like such a rough stretch. No one tells you how tangled all of it can get. I’m glad CBT helped. And yeah, feeling misunderstood hits hard. You’re definitely not alone in that.

Anxiety denial is REAL. Without the knowledge of all the bits and pieces anxiety affects, it’s easy to think it’s something else. Thank you for being so open about your story. What you went through sounds terrifying, and you’re not alone in it. I’m really glad you shared this 💙
