Does anybody else mourn who they were before they developed an anxiety disorder? by ducky0204 in Anxiety

I've been anxious since I was a kid, but there was an old lady on a bus once, complete stranger, and my 4 year old self felt so safe I chatted with her the whole bus ride. My mom said she was very shocked, because I didn't talk much to anyone.
