Anxiety needs help -: A good defense attorney. Not that it doesn't play a major role in many of human's misery but it is a bit misunderstood. It has accomplices: the expectations your distorted thoughts create drive your nervous systems to respond. Muscles, circulation, hormones and other chemicals flow. The have real effects like the ones you complain of. Consider some CBT therapy to learn anxiety skills.
