It just happens
I have severe anxiety and totally agree with this! My first panic attack turned me into a person that I wouldn't recognise. And while I do always take my medication, it is important to be aware that travelling can make this difficult, because I normally take my medicine in the morning after I wake up and with dinner in the evening, but when getting to different time zones, the timing has to be done appropriately so that I don't miss a dose, but also can still take the medication at convenient times. While I absolutely understand the frustration of such a situation, it isn't appropriate to direct that frustration towards the individual.
