The good news is that anxiety can be treated very effectively in a variety of ways. Good Luck.

May 5th, 2009the saddest part of having a anxiety disorder is the judgement you receive. i am on probation at my job because of my anxiety. i cannot control the anxiety, and i really don’t like being this way. it has made me lose my self confidence and has lowered my self esteem. i just keep praying and ask GOD to heal the anxiety. i just wish there was someone who really understood the pain that we go through having this disorder.
