I was in the hospital yesterday and I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow because of anxiety. A small part of me still wonders if this is a real medical condition and not just me being a big cry baby.
Does anybody have experience with this? I don't know a lot about mental health disorders.

I have experience yes. Different kinds. And I empathize with how you feel about recognizing that it's a real condition. What happened, you had an anxiety attack that landed you in a hospital?
Yep, I was at work and suddenly started hyperventilating and doing everything possible to not start wailing. No real trigger, just bam, I felt like I was going to die.

I hope it goes smoothly with the doctor, it can be scary but knowing what's happening is a great help.
