I see. Having no fear is good. But you need to open your mind and be carful:)

awkwardperson, I find that very interesting in that you have no fear but you still have anxiety disorder? Are you on an SSRI by chance. Sometimes antidepressants can give you that high feeling that you are invincible. A Superman effect lol I felt like that at one time in my life (but I wasn't suffering anxiety at the time). It was when I had been in training for defensive TaiChi. I would walk out after class not afraid of anyone or anything. So I know the feeling.

What are you afraid of in having anxiety?

Nope am not on anything I constantly have the feeling of yes not bothered by any calamities I've developed this thing about perfectionism and need to achieve stress mostly and getting things right having to be prepared for any situation what could happen might happen what if this happens need to be prepared what about you ?

I need to be able to walk away from a situation whether by my own car or my own will. Don't like feeling trapped in a dental chair. It's not the dentist I'm afraid of but the fact, once he starts on something, I cannot just get up and leave. I've really come a long way from my original fear of everything. I use deep breathing which gets me through just about anything. I still need to have my own car and be in control. :)
