Dear GC:

You mentioned gut feelings in the last three lines-  anxiety does make it very difficult to identify gut feelings. Literally the gut is very sensitive to anxiety/ distress.

You wrote in parenthesis: “I’m also very used to having big responsibilities placed on me from friends and family”-

when parents place big responsibilities on a child, the child not capable to handle such, being a child and needing so much herself, it brings about anxiety, doesn’t it?
