I just wondered if HA sufferers hide their anxiety from friends and family members.
I never talk openly about my condition to my sister because she doesn't support the anxious behaviour and she has never understood anxiety therefore I am always hiding my feelings with her which as a result my anxiety increases.
I am supposed to stay around her house for a week to look after my mum(she has just had an operation) but the thought of me having a panic attack around her house terrifies me because I don't know how she is going to react, so y anxiety levels are building up already before me being there.
I do not tell friends neither because it I do I am worried they are going to start monitoring me and make me more anxious I rather not tell so I behave as normal, even when I am not feeling well when I am with them I try to keep it to myself.
