Thanks, Chinchillin777, that is a great post!
Do your anxiety problems include things on the "OCD spectrum"? That is, obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors, which can including intrusive thoughts that cause fear and ritual behaviors that serve (temporarily) to reduce anxiety, such as repeatedly cleaning things, counting rituals, repeatedly checking things, hording excessive amounts of stuff, and pulling hair or picking at the skin. Body Dysmorphic behavior and certain eating disorders seem to be caused by something related to OCD, too. I have OCD and am interested in talking with others about the problem, and what works or doesn't work to help keep it under control.
