If you could describe your anxiety in one word, what would it be?

[CMF]

There is a thread under Depression just like this so I thought why not start an anxiety one?

My word is:

Attacking

Overwhelming

Temporary

*seriously....I was a jerk and thought 'happy thoughts' could fix it....was I wrong...I wasted 15 years of my life 'fighting' this mongrel illness on my own....I cant replace that time....hugs for everyone..Paul

Consuming

[Touille]

Controlling.

I wish I had memory loss, that would get rid of anxiety.
