Anxiety can come out through lots of different outlets. We are all different after all in our personalities.
If you listed your worries where would the money/financial one come on the list?
Do you mind me asking did the eating disorder come as a result of the money worry? If not where did the eating disorder come from? Sometimes you have to go right back and start at the beginning to fix a problem or at least to come to terms so you end up in a better place eventually. Rub out the mistakes on the paper and re write the page.
Its certainly true that anxiety lessons if we do something positive towards what is making the anxiety. For example if its debt and you get help with that and are working towards fixing the debt, it helps alot, i think thats where your your therapist was going with that.
You cant work out what you want until you know what is at the core of you.

I so understand sometimes I just need someone to talk to but feel like I've bored everyone enough. I struggle to eat n feel sick most of the time I constantly worry I have an incurable hidden illness's
i go to the doctors alot I want my brain to just stop thinking and stop being scared

i have had anxiety issues most of my lifealong with depression. had a very dysfuntictional family growing, 2 active alcholics, you never knew from day to day, dinner time was esp. stressful, as my dad would stop after work and be drunk at dinner and my mother just drank all day. so, i do not think my anxiety started when the slid to anorexia began, however, i have had one form or another of an eating disorder most of my life, i just never knew it. i struggled with weight growing up, was made fun of and no one thought of it as a disease, i was the only one in the family overweight and i resorted to sneaking food as i was deprived in order to look better. upon writing this, maybe eating disorders have always been the cause. fnding the underlying root is vry hard and i have had yrs. of therapy and have come to terms with many. i guess i am being very self in wanting attention back to me and letting the anxiety rule my life.

Sounds to me like your parents were the root cause, the eating disorders and the anxiety are what i call the fall out from that, they are how your "upset" as a child came out, your symptoms. Everyone has different symptoms to a dysfunctional family up bringing, whether that's drug taking, drinking, steeling, eating disorders etc, and lets be honest all of us here on DS have probably had a dysfunction of some kind growing up.
Thing is we can could blame our parents our whole life, been there and done that, but there comes a point when you realize blaming them doesn't move you forward, it just keeps you where you are, and its very unusual for a parent to look upon their grown child and see the mess they have caused and say "I'm so sorry i'm to blame for your ......." So using it to draw attention to yourself is also pointless, your just hurting yourself in the end.
My counselor said something to me which made me think "How do you want the next 20 or so years to go? Change is hard, but hopefully rewarding, i want to find out...

my therapist said a similar thing to me, it is thought provoking, i am clueless as to what i want it to be, but i know i dont want this.

your post touched me in that i feel so tired of it all sometimes too.
and my anxiety is always in my stomach.
have you tried relaxation cds?
I also had an alcoholic father....i guess that is at the root of why i always fear the worst.
are you the same way.
i will pray for you tonite and think peaceful thoughts for us both,
Havalah

thank you havalah
