this class starts to make me crazy. Not in a "oh it's so boring, i'm going crazy" kind of way (though I am!). I mean that after reading about all of this I realized that I may actually be a classified nut. There are so many clinical disorders! It's such a huge umbrella that it makes me think that there really isn't anyone in the world without something going on in their heads.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder : 4 stages.
The first is supposed to be butterflies and that's mild.
My mild anxiety manifests in sweaty hands and racing heart.
Apparently that's severe...... Crap.
I have maladaptive coping strategies. I'm supposed to be in Palliative coping strategies with daydreaming and fidgeting and all that jazz. I'm a procrastinator and heavily dependent on others when shit hits the fan.
I also realized that I may not have it but i have the greatest potential for some sort of low level agoraphobia. There was a list of risk factors and damn it all if I didn't go through 3/4s of the list checking off where the list applies to me.
I'm a nut.
