My best friend has generalized anxiety disorder, that shit is no joke. It fucks him up, we'll be hanging out drinking or something and he'll just stare down and/or curl up, shaking, crying quietly and barely able to talk. It's scary as fuck seeing your friend whose otherwise much more of a go-getter than myself just put into that state out of nowhere. He also is extremely ashamed of how helpless he appears when he has an attack, he's said.
He's definitely a guy with more pride than me, he doesn't like when you cross certain lines, he won't take himself feeling dissed and so on, so when I see him have an attack I guess he'll really try to downplay it even though it looks fucking bad.
I guess therefore big up alex for being open like this about it, so it becomes more widely understood how this works.
