Thanks for your honesty.
I know it can be hard and seem ridiculous to keep going. This is the nature of facing our fears, our ego will resist and resist and resist. It may even convince one is insane to pursue it any further. But as you said what the worst could happen - nothing.
I suggest to let it all go. Sometimes in trying we are holding onto things we need to let go off. At least you know that what we have discussed is an option to consider. You never know, a truth may suddenly appear when you least expect it.
Like trying to remember somebody's name, after awhile you give up (let go) and then later in a seeming gap of thought, or a reminder/trigger, the name pops into the head.
Likewise, trust your revelations of what causes your anxieties will pop into your awareness. Then grab it before fear motivates the ego to avoid/deny it again.
