@annedodrill44 I like how you think. Who better to help us with anxiety than others experiencing thus?? B-12 sometimes does help. Nice thing is B-12 is water-soluble and not cause other imbalances.

Thank you for your reply, parus! And for the intermittent nausea anxiety can bring, peppermint tea seems helpful. I find that the most frustrating thing about persistent anxiety is that it doesn’t have the same status as other health issues. People think it’s “all in your head”. But it really is a condition you have to live with and control just like any other disease, ie diabetes.

@annedodrill44 Sadly those not living with an anxiety issue (or disorder which is a term I abhor) can be cruel. Yes, it is a condition that we learn to live with even though it is unpleasant. Having health issues that others cannot see is challenging. I know I have become very much of a recluse. I am thankful for some interaction here at connect. There are nice and caring members as well as insight from others. We are all different and what works for one may not work for another.
Loneliness is also a disease and it is painful too.

@parus It is so challenging to have health issues that others cannot see. I'm sorry you have become a bit of a recluse. I wish for those in your life to see in you what I see. You are a wise person who has so much to offer others. The posts you make here on Connect are valued. Thank you for being part of our community!
