Long time Anxiety.

[riddler]

Hi, i'm just over 40 and have had anxiety and obsessive, intrusive thoughts on and off for the past 25+ years. Looking back, I'm able to laugh at my many fantastical fears (spikes), because now i'm free of those specific worries i can see they were not based on reality nor had any likelihood of coming true, like when i thought my elderly neighbour was trying to steal my front garden simply by mowing it! Other fears consist of thoughts about going blind, mad, demented or being wrongly accused and imprisoned of something, especially on holiday..

Anyway i thought i'd say hello as i'm spiking about various things at the moment and can't seem to take them for what they are.
