The worst part about anxiety disorders is that even though you know how irrational and stupid your fear is, you can’t help panicking.
people never seen to understand this & it’s really frustrating to explain that you KNOW it’s stupid to feel like this but you can’t help it.“You know there’s nothing to be afraid of.” “Yes I KNOW that BUT I AM afraid and that makes me even MORE upset. Please stop reminding me.”
This.
