No shit! Then it oversteps those boundaries and makes you sick. Like bitch, you’re supposed to be a mental disorder

Wait it’s not just in your head - trauma lives in the body and shows up on brain scans. People with anxiety often literally have different neurochemistry and people who say shit like that are uninformed and dismissive.

I’m not trying to say OP is wrong, I just don’t want anyone experiencing anxiety to overlook things like somatic therapy that can be super helpful. Anxiety is pretty complex and it can get better and comments like “it’s just in your head” are like the least helpful thing ever so I feel this post so hard
