We are never alone with symptoms that Anxiety gives us. Although I have never heard

it explained as tightened Guitar Strings. (do you play guitar?) I do and you are right in that feeling. Oh sure, Xanax would loosen the strings but it's short lived until then tighten again.

Learning to do diaphragmatic breathing can be very beneficial in releasing the nervousness and reducing the level of adrenaline. It takes practice but well worth it. It's free, it's with you at all times and can help in moments. YouTube has some incredible breathing exercises

look for the short ones to start with 5-10 minutes. Let me know if you need some help :) xx
