Life long anxiety sufferer

by Jeanette

Thank you for all this helpful information.

I have had anxiety problems since age 5, and in my late 20s it was really bad. I am much better now due to medication (although I would try natural remedies) and knowledge. I learned all I could about the condition and how to help myself. Sometimes when approaching a bridge I started feeling very anxious; I was afraid I would not be able to drive over it. I learned to focus on something else - I would turn on the radio and sing, and it did work. My mind was focused on the song and the anxiety level goes down.

Thanks for letting me share.
