Alexcia, I think that anxiety causes a lot of people to feel misunderstood. When you feel like you aren’t in control of your mind, it is difficult to help others understand you. I agree that by teaching others that anxiety is a real struggle and providing ways to help those experiencing it, we can make a true difference. Thank you for sharing your experience!
