yesterday i had the first appointment with my psychiatrist and he told me the same thing you just wrote about. Specailly the part about a lot of people dealing with it at some point in there life some more and some less. He said the same thing. And it gives me somewhat a good feeling. Because Anxiety is still a topic people arent open about which is sad. Since my first panic attack in november ive been open about it and still am. And i am suprised how positive people react to it.
Generalized anxiety disorder is what i am dealing with it most of the time. And what u wrote about it, i can totally relate to! The symptoms u listed are exactly what i am experiencing when i get an attack. Its very important to understand where anxiety is coming from and the reasons why we have it, and also to accept it and face the issue!
I believe we also tend to put ourselves under lots of pressure and need to have it perfect at all times. well i can only speak for myself but i believe this behaviour was also part of why i am in this situation now.
