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

My word is:

Attacking

Around - like all round me, in the air, just close enough to feel it like a presence all around me.

debilitating

Hello Chloèlla. Welcome to the forum! 😺I hope you are soon feeling comfortable enough to chat more, either by starting your own thread, or by joining conversations within other threads, which interest you.

Painful

A secret internal struggle
