I've been reading a book called Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety. And it's incredibly disturbing how much this man's story resembles my own. Down to the tiniest details. Not just of the anxiety, but his life history...
You also look a little bit like the man who wrote the book too! When I read the blog of his that you forwarded to me I saw that his mother mentioned that he was sometimes lazy with doing things he needed to do like breathing and avoiding situations that make it worsen. Another way you two are similar but I will not take on the role of your Jewish mother so smarten up. 😛
