The one thing that seemed to give me some relief around my anxiety was when I read "Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the United States. Over 40 million adults in the U.S. (19.1%) have an anxiety disorder." I have not confessed my anxiety to even my physician. Everything I've read about anxiety medications indicate that the side-effects are more invasive than the anxiety. I'm thankful that my anxiety is not so severe that I cannot navigate within society for brief periods.
