Anxiety

Hi everyone I am a daily reader on the cr but I rarely post. I have been having a difficult year becuase of various circumstances and I started developing different symptoms that led me to a DR who diagnosed me with anxiety. The thing is I guess I was a bit naive and did not realize that anxiety is a disorder I merely thought it was a term for a stressful feeling. I have BH started some medication and I have begun to feel some relief. I am just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and can shed some light on anxiety and how to get thorugh it.

thank you
