Re: [SPECIAL GUEST] Feeling anxious?
That happens a fair bit FootyFan26, and then we feel even worse! It can be helpful to (when you are feeling ok) let people know what you need when you're not coping...

Re: [SPECIAL GUEST] Feeling anxious?
That people with anxiety experience it all the time.
That we are crazy and shouldn't be friends with. Unfortunately I have experienced this one, after I confided in a friends about my anxiety, she dropped of the face of my world.
That breathing into a brown paper bag works, it doesn't I disproved that one myself. haha
That avoid situations that give you anxiety will cure you, this one so isn't true. This is an avoidance behaviour and in turn makes the anxiety around the event or trigger worse due to the avoiding it and not showing your brain that everything is actually okay.
