Because panic and anxiety are so much a part of recovery from depression or any mental illness, I added “panic and anxiety” as a topic to the discussion boards of Group Beyond Blue on Beliefnet’s Community site.

The reason panic and anxiety is part of depression is because people who are depressed have been avoiding their anxiety in the first place.

So when you give up the act of depressing your energy– you have to face and deal with your anxiety in healthy, natural ways.

Yes, anxiety is very contagious and seems to be a nonstop radio station. Good thing you have plenty of natural talents and innate skills to shift out of this irrational mental state into body emotional awareness.
