I'm afraid bad shit is gonna happen to the ones I love because bad shit has happened to the ones I love.
I'm afraid of having a panic attack if I go out because I almost always have a panic attack if I go out.
I'm afraid of random violence because I've experienced it, and witnessed it, and had some very close calls with it.
CBT doesn't work with me because I have too much experience with/evidence of the things that trigger my anxiety, but I can feel this therapist getting ready to go down that route (seriously, is that the only methodology they teach nowadays? @Aurelia?)
So how do I effectively reduce my anxiety?
