ChicagoKat:

I so completely empathize with you in this area. I have described my anxiety disorder to so many people so many times, and most of them do not have a clue as to the clinical nature of what I am going through. What makes it worse is that I do not want to isolate, but because so few people empathize with me (which, ironically, usually reduces my feelings of anxiety and low self-worth), I tend to isolate more, to escape the pain of their painful judgement (no matter how unintentional it is). I, too, hate this disease, and often contemplate "checking out" just to get away from all the pain, the endless pain, I seem to feel. If I could just take care of myself financially, then I think I could live in some peace. But with the ever more conservative thrust of the global economy, favoring only the over-achievers, the bullies, the terminal extroverts, the perfectionists, I feel that there is less and less of a place for an "ordinary" anxiety-disordered person like me. Here's hoping we can tough it out another day.

Chris
