oh dear

today i was doing some reading for class tomorrow ("counselling adolescents and their families") and was reading some interesting stuff about anxiety and panic attacks. i don't have panic attacks thankfully, but i have had some pretty severe anxiety in the past couple of years and still get it every once in awhile. anyway, the book i was reading said that thyroid disorders can cause you to have anxiety-like symptoms. this i found fascinating, as someone with Grave's Disease, because i've never had a doctor ever tell me this. so technically i don't get or have anxiety, i just have symptoms of my thyroid disorder that mimic anxiety. interesting.

so let me not
forget to tremble
