[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 366824, member: 1514"] I think there can be anxiety that is because of real threats, irrational threats or just stress. I have anxiety a lot. I dont particularly sit down and tease out which type I am having but I will attempt to give some examples. I sometimes get extremely anxious and upset if Tony is late getting home from work. It used to be that I would be freaking out and pacing and so mad I couldnt see straight. I didnt know back then that I was anxious because I was worried about his safety...all I knew then was MAD! Now we have two cell phones so I just call him and I can relieve my fears. I have fears in crowded places like walmart. I dont like being in that store. I start sweating and feel like I am going to choke to death. I have to get out of there in short order. There is also a disorder called Acute traumatic Stress Disorder which is what happens to a person when the stress is happening right now. Like what happened to the folks immediately surrounding 9/11. Only after time passed could it become ptsd. [/QUOTE]
