Hi everyone,tried to post this earlier, so if it doubles, sorry!Anyway...I read through the really informative online leaflet provided by this board for people with IBS - you know the one where you can print it off and give it to friends and family?Well: I was thinking, wouldn't it be a good idea to have something similar for anxiety? I'm working on a project for anxiety right now, and the more I think about it, the more I think this info would be a great resource to have. Plus, if it helps to make other people begin to understand what it is we actually go through, then yay!I started to think about wha tpeople have said to me in the past, you know, stuff like: "pull yourself together!" "calm down!" "stop worrying" -because we all know that's really helpful, right?!
So that I can write something to encompass as many different experiences as possible, would any of you mind sharing the things that people have said to you, which isn't helpful and which drives you bonkers? Also, what would you like them to say instead? What could they do (or say) that when you go into an anxiety meltdown, might make you feel better?Thanks for reading!
