RE: Anxiety sufferers perceive the world differently: People with anxiety show fundamental differences in perception. My personal experiences with depression and anxiety.

Thanks for sharing. I'm in the similar boat. Almost suffered severe anxiety for 10 years now. Part of it is the cost of being a high achiever. I've tried everything, all tablets out there. I did all the scan for brain chemical stuff. Everything scientific means you could think of. Today I just came back from seeing my psychiatrist, we don't want to go down to the chemical path again. If you want to get into the essence, here's what I found useful: 1) Accept it - it's OK, you're not alone. It's pretty messed up I know; 2) Do more exercise to find an outlet for the nerve and excess energy, 3) Practice breathing and mindfulness, know what you are "worrying" and detach yourself from - "Anxiety, I'm telling you now, you have no power over me", 4) Don't think too much - Don't try to intellectualise it what's lurking. It's all in the head and sorry about the cliche: mind over matters. Best of luck!
