I love the feeling of anxiety, the brief feeling in the back of my throat when I'm scared/nervous of what's going to happen. I crave this feeling and will sometimes do things that will make me scared/worry so that I can experience this. While it is making life a lot more difficult as it means I have more challenges/problems to overcome and solve, I don't think it's having a hugely negative impact on my life, so is this normal?

      I feel like it is still anxiety. I still get scared of what will happen and it still worries me. I just enjoy the feeling. Mainly the feeling in my throat and the rapid heart rate. It's a bit like an adrenaline rush.

    This is totally normal in an odd way. I have a history of long term thrill of anxiety that I had pretty good control of until freshmen year of college. Before, I loved the feeling of being on edge so i put myself in situations. Then in college I had a mental breakdown and because of the long term anxiety I had, I held into that because for some odd reason It was comforting . My anxiety grew and was hard to control. So ultimately just don't let it get out of hand. The on edge feeling is fun but you can get to the point where it exhausts your body.

    I wish I felt the same way! You can have my anxiety, if you want.

    Oh man, I HATE anxiety.
    But I LOVE sadness, for some reason.

    Ahhh... The wonderful feeling i get when i can't feel my hands while i'm driving and the chances of crashing increase by about 40%. You can't put that feeling in a pill and pop it.

    Dunno i think this is kinda wierd people don't like anxiety they wish it would go away but you welcome it.

    Maybe you are training yourself to be unbreakable i don't really know.
