Panic disorder, OCD and health anxiety. All diagnosed. It takes up a lot of my time thinking about things that are not worth the worry and ruminating. Often makes me sad and deppressed realizing even with therapy I will never be cured of this. I can only learn to cope better. I often feel like a burden to my friends and SO who are very good to me. I manage to function pretty regularly, but do miss work more than I'd like for panic or mild health concerns most people would ignore or just suck it up and deal with. Sometimes interferes with my social life because I fear the embarressment of having a panic attack in front of others. I've struggled with this my whole life. In some ways, I find it makes me strong. I always push myself to face these fears and not allow them to control me. I am not as crippled as some with the same disorders, but it is nevertheless an awful pain in the ass to work through every single day. I try to stay positive, but the entirety of my mother's side of the family struggles with ocd and severe anxiety. Sometimes I am spiteful I was brought into this world just to suffer.
