Fifteen YEARS of this? Six weeks in St Pat’s and intensive work in understanding anxiety disorder would sort her out once and for all. Her statement that she’ll ‘always’ have to deal with this is bull. Whoever she’s seeing, GP and therapist, is clearly useless and obviously happy to continue taking her cash with zero results.
She’s either confusing normal feelings of anxiety/being overwhelmed with a disorder or else she’s happy to fling good money after bad on ridiculous fluff (incense, crystals) for the Gram.
Feeling overwhelmed and anxious is a perfectly normal human reaction.
It’s only when it stops you living life that it’s a problem. I’m not sure she knows the difference and if she really wants to squash it once and for all, or she’d prefer to bang on about it.
