Are there days where you just can't get off the couch?

I have days that I get a lot done and then days that I don't feel like doing a darn thing. I also have days where my anxiety comes and goes, one minute I feel great and the next like crap.

Thanks Josh, I had some good days and then BAM here I go again.

Oh heck yeah! I definitely get those days when I feel like it will take all my energy, and perhaps that of a few big burly lumberjacks, to get me moving. A lot of it feels emotional, where I don't do something very basic and simple because of the energy I anticipate it taking (like unloading the dishwasher?)

Like everything else, there's good and bad days.

We are normal people :P

Normal people? We're all part of what constitutes "normal" people.

Everyone, even if they aren't suffering from anxiety, have other things to consider and interrupt their lives. It's part of being human and it's part of being alive.

We DO deal with normal anxiety. :)

These are all the multitude of symptoms we have to deal with.

When we learn better coping skills that work unique to us, our "new normal" of anxiety still exists, but we're stronger in how we manage them, which helps us to be more powerful over these symptoms.

Believe me, no one is so-called "normal" without "anxiety" or other "things to worry about." It's common among those with AP to look at the rest of the world and think they seem so free of problems. Believe it or not, there are even people looking at us thinking the same thing!!

Melodee, That is exactally what I' trying to say. It is not normal to feel this way. I want to be able to go to get togethers with friends and not be worried about having a panic attack, I want to be able to wake up in the morning and not fear how I'm going to feel, I want to be like I used to be before this anxiety and depression took over my life.
