[quote=Anonymous]I [i]was[/i] a child with anxiety. It probably emerged around 6 or 7 years old. I don't think there was a specific trigger. I frequently had anxious or guilty feelings; I would then feel guilty about those feelings and it would send me into a spiral. The worst thing anyone ever said to me (and they said it a lot because they thought they were being helpful) was "if you don't tell us why you're crying, we can't help you!" And, of course, I honestly didn't know why I was crying. Back then, we didn't know children could have anxiety. My dad's a psychiatrist and he never picked up on it. But it would have been really nice, I think, to have a therapist or someone else to talk to. In my 20s, I was diagnosed, and Zoloft made a huge difference. But talk therapy is still what I prefer.
