Question:
Anyone out there afraid of getting rid of their anxiety?
I have been working on my anxiety, and have realized that the more I move away from it- the more scare I get of being rid of it. It's like I afraid to live my life w/o it. Has this happened to anyone else? ifso, what did you do about it?
Answers:
I think I must believe that my anxiety protects me, that it keeps me alert and on guard. When I move away from anxiety, I also move away from this self-protective reflex. But with time I think one realizes there is nothing to be afraid of, and self-protection isn't necessary.
