    I am so sorry you are going through this. Anxiety disorder is not taken very seriously and people that dont experience it couldnt possibly understand. But just know, you are not alone. I have been dealing with the crazy manifestations of anxiety since I was 15 yrs old. I want to encourage you not to give up! Anxiety may come to a head sometimes, but it does recede eventually. Just know that you dont need to feel ashamed about it. It is no more in your control that any other disease. Be patient with yourself even when others cannot. Have hope that there will be brighter days ahead, because there will be. And be willing to try any (healthy) thing that may provide some relief. Whatever that is. Try to find things that pull you out of yourself and help you focus on this around you, not the things in your mind. And keep sharing with others that have anxiety and can support you!

      The thing about anxiety I have noticed is that it tends to attach to things we find important. You begin to fear you will have a panic attack that will prevent you from doing what you love so you start having panic attacks while doing those things. I would encourage you to continue reading and working on your design. You may have some attacks but if you just keep at it your mind will get bored of worry and start to move on. I know its scary, but anxiety is a bully and will steal from you what you let it. Just dont beat yourself up when you have set backs. Just tell yourself, its ok, tomorrow will be better..

    I also have a fear of pills and I dont take them..very common for anxious people to be sensitive to medication.
