There are some amazing people here.
I've only had one experience with Anxiety - "Adjustment Disorder". Highly disabling, very acute, I qualified for the highest level of disability benefits according to the tests. But.. it went as quickly as it came, no need for meds. It did give me an insight into what some go through though on a more long-term basis. Dry mouth 24/7, uncontrollable tremors, heart palpitations, complete inability to concentrate, drive, or even walk more than a few paces. Any sudden noise would have me jumping into a corner in a foetal position screaming before I knew what was happening. 5 weeks of it was more than enough. Cognitive therapy was right out, as my situation was truly dire, my reaction to it unhelpful rather than unjustified (which angered me immensely). When the underlying problem went away (those responsible were caught on camera carrying one of the bodies), so did the symptoms.
Those in Sydney who are familiar with the story in the headlines about bent ex-coppers will know who I refer to.
So to see such courage, such quiet heroism, from others here, it rather blows me away.
