Anxiety &amp; obsessive: thinking is best dealt w/through the help of a mental health professional. One treatment is called cognitive behavioral therapy. Strategies such as self-hypnosis training, meditation, exercise, and diet can also be helpful. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help too. Peace and good health.
