Just a thought!

I’ve had anxiety all my life and tried everything to get rid of it. I’m 57 and have accepted that I will never be without it in my life. So this is how I look at it now. Instead of trying to get rid of anxiety when it arises, changing how I look at it when it does. Two great podcasts that have helped me greatly are the Anxious Truth and Disordered. I hope this can help someone.

Thank you for your recommendation, I'm going to start giving the anxious truth podcast on YouTube a listen today. I've mentioned it a few times already on this site but have you ever looked into Action & Commitment Therapy? There are a lot of professionals who specialize in it and there's also a lot of self help books that teach it.

I have never heard of action and commitment therapy. I will do some research. Thank you.

I think it's actually "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy."
