Yes. The problem I have is I understand what's happening & why it's happening. And I'm familiar with the pitfalls of black-&-white thinking, etc. But, when I get into stressful situations, the symptoms I describe come on anyway. In fact, the shakiness in my hands & arms is there even when I'm not in a stressful situation. I suspect part of the problem is I've lived in a heightened state of anxiety for SO many years that my body now goes into panic mode, in stressful situations, even when rationally I know there's nothing to be stressed out about. I no longer have control over it... not that I ever did...
