"anxiety and excitement are the same feeling in the body “… When I get anxious I try to tell myself that I’m just excited and it seems to calm me down almost immediately."

That's a good way to look at those feelings Vlada.  I feel more at ease in countryside settings and have no wish to be any other way.  This is just how I am, we always need to fully accept ourselves and live life the way we are as that's our service to ourselves and to others.

Yep!! can totally relate to her anxiety, I get it bad when I leave my small town and get on a motorway into a larger City like Auckland where the pace is faster, people are mad drivers & the crowds on the street is over powering, as I'm a full empath I feel so much more of everyone around me so have to shield big time.. what I notice though is  “ anxiety and excitement are the same feeling in the body “… When I get anxious I try to tell myself that I’m just excited and it seems to calm me down almost immediately. It feels like life is all about perception. The fear of anxiety then having a panic attack is itself a problem, anxiety might sound like nothing to those who don't suffer from it but it creeps up slowly and can grow like a snowball being rolled on the ground becoming larger. Anxiety can make a person reclusive, jobless, have no relationship/partner, damage social circles and damage social and interactive skills, its a major problem in the modern era which nobody takes seriously until they experience it themselves or someone close to them goes through it.
