I could have definitely received a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder as far back as early childhood.
 
As someone who now provides support to people who live with
anxiety (& other MH conditions) I often think about my younger self & how hard it was to interact with the world. 

I'm not sure how no one noticed me struggling. Instead, I got labeled 'quiet.' That label haunted me then & still does.

Did you invisibly struggle like this in childhood in the 80s and 90s? 

I SO get it.
