I just had a thought. Maybe they're asking because most people nowadays seem to want to share that particular piece of information? IDK, just a thought. I can't say I'd be offended if someone asked me but I'd prefer they didn't unless I know them. Most of my generation kept that private.
I know. It's hard. I've kind of accepted that I'll always be a nervous person. I'm just thankful I'm not in fight or flight mode all the time anymore. That was miserable.
Maybe you should talk to your doctor about the medication you're on. Maybe they could do more?
