This was sent to me today - it does give a really good impression of how I feel when the dreaded anxiety strikes http://www.boredpanda.com/surreal-portraits-anxiety-disorder-my-anxious-heart-katie-joy-crawford/

Wow, powerful stuff Taz.
Who would have thought you could portray anxiety in photographs.

Some of those pictures describe my anxiety to a T. Like the glass of water, the bird cage & the swimming one. Powerful images!

Great images , really capture how it feels to be anxious all the time. Particularly like the bird cage- how I long to open the cage and fly- maybe one day!

thanks Taz. Really good, the text too. She really nails the trapped, suffocating feeling. Afraid to live and afraid to die. The difference, so often denied by doctors, between anxiety and depression - not feeling, or feeling too much. They don't always go together (or not in my case) but I feel that depression is now socially more 'acceptable' and understood than anxiety. I don't know if anyone else agrees but just how I've found it.

Yes I agree oldsheep. I too found the "afraid to live and afraid to die" very apt.

Yes me too...it's more acceptable to suffer from depression now than anxiety.
I'm just afraid a lot of the time and I've not really got any reason to be afraid.
If anyone could see inside my head they would think I was stark raving mad.
Yes it was very powerful but helpful.....just to know it's acknowledged by others.
