Hello, I'm Abbigail. I've always been a rather high strung individual. It's hard to determine when it became full blown anxiety. For several years I suffered from a severe eating disorder and when I went into remission with it, it seemed that the worst of the anxiety went to sleep too. It was always there boiling beneath the surface but I could ignore it for the most part. In recent months it seems to have reared its ugly head in an alarming way, though, so here I am. I have heard a lot of good things about CBT so I'm very hopeful, and I hope we can all become good friends and eventually get well with our anxiety. :)
