For me understanding my anxiety doesn't make it go away or any easier to manage.

Being triggered happens long before I can catch it. I am not very good at being aware of my feelings. I find it more helpful to keep a small life, cut out people who trigger me and focus on the nice things that happen. I guess I try and avoid anxiety until I have no choice and it grabs me, suffocates and terrorises me. In reality in is with me most of the time in varying degrees.

I have now got Panic disorder as a result of so much stress from the outside world. I have made friends with a paper bag to breathe in and out of. I wish there was an answer that would cure us.... I hope your course can help
