As a matter of fact, YES. I feel like curling up in bed and hiding from the world. My method of manifestation of anxiety is to not just bite my nails but bite the skin around my nails, tearing my fingers to shreds to the point that the tips of my fingers are covered in scar tissue.
What keeps me going is the anger of the possibility of defeat even though I drink heavily and live in a world of hopelessness, never having completed much in my life.
I can't beleive you guys are concocting SSRI cocktails of various drugs and poisoning your bodies and brains with all these really bad side effects AND the 100% chance of residual [bad] effects once you stop taking the drug. This, not to mention the REALLY bad withdrawal symptoms you get as soon as you stop. They are so bad that you have to "taper off"??? Does that sound like a safe drug to you? Do you trust the FDA enough to make that judgement for you? That's a government agency, remember, and they are morons.
