I am also a "person with anxiety" Sleepie. Clinically diagnosed and currently being treated for. Plenty of others here are too. So please show a little respect for those who are trying to help you that have the same problems you do.
I was trying to point out, as I have many times before, that anxiety is a vicious cycle that once started perpetuates and causes all kinds of illogical thougts. Part of the way OUT is to stop and think with the logical part of your mind and realize how irrational the thinking is. Therapy helps with that, talking with other can too and LISTENING to people who know exactly what you are going through can really help.
And "going silent" is not going to help you at all. You need to start listening AND talking through these issues, whether it's here or with a therapist.
