I'm 33, married, have a beautiful son, I have been living with anxiety for 3 years now. At first I was sure I was going to have an early death, I'd stare at my son trying to burn him in my memory to never forget his face when I got to heaven. Pray to at least see my gra

[More]nd children. Why me, why me, but after I realized what I had and after many visits to the ER and numerous trips to the doctors I started to educate myself and truly convince myself that the pain in my chest, dizziness, chills, bad dreams, bad thoughts, doom ect. Are all a little thing called anxiety. I still have and feel symptoms but there is no more doom no more felling like I'm some crazy person and that no one is going through what I'm going through. All of you on this forum are not alone, anxiety affects millions and millions.
I especially feel sorry for the ones just recently developing it. It's such a long road and it will get better, then worse, then much worse, then finally you'll see light then it will be good. I'm no holy roller, I don't even go to church but instead of praying to God I started praying to Jesus and I swear, he has answered so many of my prayers and I know he has helped me deal with this. For those new to anxiety, you finding this site is going to help you tremendously, it really helped me. Lastly, trust your Doctors if they say you have anxiety, you have anxiety and all the horrific symptoms are all because of it. Do some thing every day that you know will make you laugh or smile, a funny movie, a great memory, call a friend that makes you laugh.A lot of people have it better than us, a lot of people have it worse, I don't know about you but I'm just fine being in the middle!
