How did you know you had anxiety, when it first started? How do you know when it’s lessened its hold on you?

Its the fear of leaving the house .

Fear of being around people.

Doubting yourself.

Not trusting your own feelings.

I knew it had lost its grip when I had rested, processed and found ways to live alongside it, and telling myself, im safe, i got through it, it didn't break me 💕💜

 this is kinda embarrassing 🙈 

I smoked pot. 

To this day, I don’t know if it was laced with something or not but, it triggered panic in me. I used to leave class in high school with full blown panic, feeling like I was dying. It started in high school and really peaked in my early 20s.

Was it anxiety or pot that caused that?

I think the pot triggered the panic in me at that time.

It was my first panic attack.

The very first panic attack is TERRIFYING :(

It really is.

I had one about a year later, in the shower. I ran out, naked, crying-screaming- again-thought I was dying.
