Have you ever felt like anxiety is what holds you together?

I am anxious a lot. It's been my life since early childhood. I honestly think without it , i would be kinda lost

It's definitely the opposite for me ..

Keeps me up at night .

Provides me the instinct for the worst decisions/actions/reactions I've made in my life ..

I wish I could keep my anxiety in the teeth, and send it on a stretcher straight to the infirmary,

Yes I am anxious all the time

I think it’s part of why/how I get so much done

Yes i do without my meds its worse

Never

Never. It breaks me down.

Mostly I feel like it's tearing me apart

I used to. But it felt like my heart was coming through my chest.

Yes

Edit: I meant in the context of a relationship with someone. Holds me together with them

I would kinda think so.

No, it's a killer and if you suffer you should seek help.

No, but it's a part of me. Knowledge is power.

No... dissociation and apathy are more my glue.

It holds me apart

It is the horrible, panicky glue holding my brain in place. 🤔
