Anxiety, Anxiety, Anxiety

Hi all,

I joined 7cups today as a listener. I have worked with people since I was a teenager and it is something I am passionate about. Nice to meet you all!

However, one thing I am not passionate about is anxiety. I cant remember when I develped anxiety if I am completly honest, all i know is that i cant remember my life without it. It has become apart of my shadow and everyday routine.

I get the physcial symptoms of anxiety before my mind kicks in and tells me thats what it is- odd? Does this happen to others? I know that subconsciously something has triggered it, but I dont know what. For me, there are specific things that can irritate my anxiety. What are yours?

Alongside this, I have also recently been diagnosed with bi-polar, which I always kind of knew I had anyway being a mental health nurse myself.

Anyway, I am really pleased I get to be apart of something wonderful- if you do want to chat, please feel free to message me!
