What can I do to help my sister?

My anxiety has been a problem for years. Started with some stagefright and overall nerves in high school, and it's just gotten worse over the years into college and now into my working career.

I've been on meds for years, I hate how they make me feel, but I'll do anything to help prevent more panic attacks in my life.

Sadly, my little sister has developed the same types of problems. She knows about my struggles with anxiety, and has been asking me for advice. But I really don't know what to tell her, because I'm still suffering badly.

What should I tell her?

I think just letting her know that you're always there for her, and can talk to you about anything, is the most you can do... but that's also a lot Love Struck

I think along the lines of what Amanda says above, just let her know that she can tell you anything. I think it will also help her to feel better in knowing that she's not alone, that you've also had many of the same scary thoughts and feelings.
