yeah you need to learn coping mechanisms that work for you, work through the anxiety instead of medicating it away and i can tell you will get better.... its "exposure therapy"
your mind will learn to compensate in healthier ways as you expose yourself...
i've been doing this for a couple years now... its better and i dont have to take PRN as much, although i take it somedays just to prevent any issues

this has been my experience i dont know if it is the same for others
