I'm sorry Chris I think I criss crossed two post. I agree 100% with the education.

Those are the people you distance yourself from their ignorance is greater than your disease. You tell them that when you walk away from them like this.......I thought my problem was bad but your ignorance is worse so when you understand, be my friend until then you are not.
Those ignorant people will keep you in the cycle of ups and downs. Walk away from them now and find better friends or family members.
I'm lost....I have no idea where you're getting the idea that I am against education or that I walk away "like this." (?) I posted this so that people who have no experience with anxiety disorders might be able to get some idea of what it's like. My intent was to promote understanding.

I think she was talking to me Chris on the last post. She is agreeing with you educating people.

Again Chris I am sorry I have not got the quote thing figured out I was responding to 1 Anonymous Lady. I'll work on learning this quote thing I forget to put the quote to respond to the comment. I hope you forgive my blunder.

And people who don't have GAD, or another form of anxiety/panic disorder...you can read all the books you want, but unless you've actually experienced what we go through, you JUST DON'T KNOW.

My first therapist always told me that I gave myself the panic attacks and depressed myself. He told me it took far more energy to keep myself depressed than to snap out of it. So on top of the guilt I already carry around, I am ultimately causing my own problems. (I know that in some ways we do contribute to our problems, but I don't think we "cause" them in the way he was referring to.)
Talk about clueless! And he was a counselor!

I wonder if we had the same therapist or maybe they had the same teacher. Mine told me that he believes in reality therapy and that I give myself anxiety and depression by the way i think. Thanks Doc just what i wanted to hear.
