I was talking to a nurse friend I thought she understood my anxieties when clearly she doesnt I told her this morning sometimes I wish I could kill myself she said be careful someone may hear me and put me away but as I told her I would never do that it is just a thought .However here it comes oh the anxieties will go away you can make them go away,why is it that people who do not have anxieties,think they know what is best for us when they don't? I get so sick of hearing don't think about it .my mom says that all of the time,or we are crazy.stupid or worse yet we could get rid of them if we really wanted to,Oh ya let them live with this crappy disorder and see how fast they talk.I dont mind helping people or people suggesting things but do not go and say we can cure them or get rid of them when we cannot.People who dont know the first thing about anxieties depression mood disorders ,bipolar should just keep there big mouth shut,i cannot stand people who do not have a mental illness and they think they know every thing .It makes me so mad we do not criticize people with a physical illness so do not criticize us,don't they get it a mental illness is also a physical illness because it effects the brain.

We are neither crazy or stupid. It's not our fault that our bodies get the shakes with panic. It's not our fault we panic. The fault belongs to the world and those in it who have sent us on this path of suffering.

That's the problem with a disorder that doesn't have a physical or blatant, in-your-face mental manifestation. People discount it as just some silly thing that you'd get over if you'd just toughen up and get over it. It's like what my ex brother-in-law said about my uncle's history of mental illness: "He doesn't seem that bad to me. Probably just needs a smack in the head." Or my ex-coworker who thought that people with sinusitis just needed to blow their noses.

The problem is that they don't understand mental illness. I think it is because of the stigma that it was awarded through ancient era's. Mostly, people with mental illness would be thought of being possessed by the devil, or evil spirits of some kind. So we were labelled as crazy. We aren't crazy going woo-woo and waving our arms around so on the face of it we appear sane to them. Their view of mental illness is for someone to be crazy woo-woos. They don't realise the depth of the mind and the vast amount of mental illnesses there are.

I am just so sick of the whole thing I did call my mom today but that nurse has an attitude i really dont want to call there anymore i was thinking of sending my mother a card with a note saying mom i wish i could come and see you but because of my illness i cannot.one thing you dont tell someone with a mental illness is you will get over it or there is nothing to worry about.Oh really well in my mind there is something to worry about i dont what that is what makes it so confusing and worse.Why do we feel the way i know with me my anxieties are caused by the fear of the unknown if i am right that is what most people feel when they do have anxieties,Also I told my doctor about a week ago to chance my Depakote that stupid son of a b--th didnt they wont even call me.Then they can wait for there payments too

People can be rude and so uncaring. They just don't realise that other people are human just like them. I think those kind of people are selfish.

When I was younger. ...before my struggle began...I would watch those commercials for anti depressant medication and I would say.. why don't they just stop being big babies? ?
I regret that till this day.
I've been on both sides and I can tell you that it is simply stupidity.
Stupidity is the reason why people don't get it and if they had to deal with our struggle everyday....they would be apologetic also.
I took for granted how lucky I was to have peace of mind.....and let's face it....they probably do to.

Nice profile picture. :)
I'm glad we have this platform in which everyone is aware of and is understanding of our struggles. I don't have to explain myself on here, and you all are every caring, which I'm very grateful about.

Yeah I understand, my parents used to punish me when I had attacks relating to my phobia and now my mom always says things like "I don't know why you're like this" really all we want is someone to listen an not criticize, it becomes an anxiety to express how you feel because you're worried people will judge you more or make you feel worse

:( Get this one she wants me to come in live with my mother I just told her Icannot there is no way in hell I would ever live with this woman.I just told mom doesnt want me there.then again she proceeded to asks about anxieties I guess she thought I made them up because she never heard of anyone having them but she heard of panic attacks ,ugh she said they are that bad i said yes they come and again i had to explain to her it is a chemical imbalance in the brain.Also you never know when it is going to hit.I bet she thinks I am a lousy daughter ,and when i asked my friend that she said no why would you asks I told her busy i cannot go and see my mother she just said she cannot answer that so is she insinuating i am a bad mother ? I dont think I am I call her everyday but she is always sleeping living with my mo would just make me get more anxieties:(

That is true. If someone has not suffered something then they have no compassion.

There is nothing but, compassion on my part.
They was a sweet young girl that had a panic attack today at work because she was overwhelmed because it was busy.
I had to comfort her and get her through it .....so sad.

Maybe we suffer anxiety because we are compassionate. We are in touch with our emotions and understand others. But they have never known something, how could they understand it.
