Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Does this happen to anyone else? I start thinking about something that I know causes anxiety for me but it is hard to not think about it. I sometimes think I enjoy being anxious which I don't.. try to stay busy and not get too alarmed from it but it happens daily. I see a therapist and I am on meds. My therapist says that my anxiety comes from supressed emotions which I do have difficulty expressing my emotions. Stupid thinking process. A lot of the time I am not thinking about the triggers that are causing my emotions.

Either we have to learn to walk around the mines, or else set them off and blow them up, and then we can run free.
When you've hit a point where you're more mine than field, life becomes unlivable and you have to either become dead entirely, or start clearing the mines. I think your counsellor wants you to clear the mines.
Thinking about the thing that causes anxiety is how to defuse the mine. I think maybe your body is trying to take you through a process that your mind doesn't want to do (because of the anxiety attack that it gets) and what I have had to learn to do was go to bed and cry or whatever, but not distract myself from this issue. Finish this issue. Complete the issue. Think it till it's completely thunk.
And then it's 1 down and 499 to go... but that's finite, so it's achievable, so it's progress. It's amazing how much better you feel with the first 10 gone. I'm still having them, little horrid memories of stupid things I have done that make me shrivel inside, but now they take maybe 5 minutes to experience fully, accept, cringe over, say goodbye to. I have hated it, but it's working!
