The friends met in college in the 1980s and bonded over their shared condition. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hard to find support back then,\u201d says Greenberg. \u201cWhat we have now is a treasure chest and an arsenal of what works. One size does not fit all. It might not even fit you today. So many people can think, \u2018Oh, I thought I was the only one.\u2019 When you have 100 people saying, \u2018I have that too!\u2019 it\u2019s reassuring. You\u2019re a unique person, but anxiety disorder is not unique. And anxiety sisters don\u2019t go it alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lately, the pair has been fielding plenty of inquiries from group members who are anxious about returning to their office. \u201cEarlier today, I was on FB and someone DM\u2019d me and said, \u2018I\u2019m on a conference call with my office right now and they\u2019re talking about going back to the office and I have tears going down my face and I feel like I\u2019m going to throw up,\u2019\u2009\u201d says Sarachek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing we recommend is taking baby steps before you have to go back. You want to get the brain thinking, \u2018This is my routine again.\u2019 So one day, that might involve dressing up again, or putting on makeup. Or it might involve getting in your car and driving partway or full-way to work. It\u2019s exposure therapy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another thing they recommend is a DAB: a Designated Anxiety Buddy to check in with when things feel shaky. \u201cIt could be someone online, someone who understands the experience of anxiety, so they won\u2019t make you feel judged. Having someone who can say, \u2018I get that, I\u2019ve had it too\u2019 \u2014 when we are met with acceptance, it does a lot for us.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
