I was never abused as a child... actually had quite a normal childhood in most people's eyes.Myfamily history was not so perfect. My grandfather on dad's side had anxiety and panic, although they neverknew it, I can now relate to much of his behavior.My grandmother (dad's side again) is a hypochondriac, and I think I get a lot of that, although unlike her, Iavoid doctors like the plague. My dad's brother (I know, my dad is the only normal person in his family) is manic-depressive and a severe alcoholic. I got the manic-depression, not the alcoholism thanks to emet. I was kinda a weird kid though, very VERY shy, (still am), and always played by myself with my stuffed animals or Legos. I had very few friends, and even fewer friends as I got older. I am very private, I tell no one of my problems. I didn't tell my parents about my anxiety until I had suffered in silence for almost 10 years. It wasn't until a year or two after I told them I had anxiety that I told mom about the emet. She still really doesn't understand, so I just don't talk about it.


Ok, well, I've rambled enough...
