Egads! I am. But I am getting better, slowly & surely getting better. Hopefully I’ll not trip over my cape or clumsy feet in the process. ;)
I detest that this is true about me. I fight self-esteem issues and fear of rejection along with making assumption. I battle on though!
Anxiety is secretive. He does not trust anyone, not even his friends, Worry, Terror, Doubt and Panic … He likes to visit me late at night when I am alone and exhausted. I have never slept with him, but he kissed me on the forehead once, and I had a headache for two years. He is sure a nuisance to get out of the house. He has no respect for locks or curtains or doors. I speak from experience. It takes cunning to get rid of him, a combination of anger, humor, and self-respect. A bath helps too. He does not like to get wet. As a last resort, if you are not near a bathtub, wet your face with tears.
