Yes CBT will help challenge your negative thoughts that induce the anxiety. Our thoughts will be catastrophic by nature (the brain can be a bully if it picks up on our vulnerabilities) CBT can help challenge thoughts. For example, 'my life is ruined' will pop into our heads, when actually, 'my life is not ideal, however, I have some support' may be a more realistic thought. unfortuanately without CBT techniques to help you challenge catastrophic thoughts it will always be 'my life is ruined' (worse case scenario) that pops into your head
