Yes : So I am assuming you want to know that if you are an " anxious " person what to do to change it . Yes it is possible to improve this significantly with treatment . Best combination would be medications and cbt . Other options are there too . Easy bruising should be investigated as mere touching should not cause bruising . Similarly frequency or urination can be anxiety but should not be assumed
