I came in late to a seminar due to a location change. Usually I’m a punctual person because the anxiety is hit-and-miss in crowds.
I groused quietly about the seating and suggested I just go because it could be better for everyone. She said “oh, don’t worry: you’ll be fine.”
Before I could stop it, I’d fired back with, “oh, well that’s the feeling of a lifetime of anxiety leaving my body. Why did no one try that before?”
Seminar day went a little downhill.

Maybe you should have talked to a professional, instead of someone who does not know any better …
Family members and friends are usually overwhelmed when confronted with serious mental problems of person close to them. So I meant a professional therapist, sorry if that was not obvious.
