Let's Talk About Anxiety

My sib had panic attacks when young but fortunately outgrew it. My mother could have probably been helped by the resources available today as she is a very anxiety ridden person although not crippling I don’t think. My H is very laid back and I have never been a particularly anxiety ridden person and the kids are all on the normal curve from as laid back as my H to slightly less laid back. I wonder sometimes why this is so much more prevalent these days but I stop and think that in fact as a nation we are over-programmed, connected to our devices whether for work or pleasure almost 24/7 and we are exposed through media instantaneously to every horrible thing happened on the globe so perhaps it is simply that people that are vulnerable are just more impacted by life today. Also people are just not as active as they were in the past - both kids and adults - being outside or doing physical activity really is good “medicine”.
