Completely!
Have you tried meditation? It sounds like you are over identifying with your thoughts & emotions. Putting some distance between them and the observer (the third eye, so to speak) has allowed me to recognize something as being anxiety inducing, but not have a panic attack over it. Also, try to reframe things that terrify you as challenges. It changes the narrative from victim to hero.
I also enjoyed reading "the war of art" and still find solace in its musings when I am faced with resistance.

So far I found it useful in toning down anxiety attacks. > I also enjoyed reading "the war of art" and still find solace in its musings when I am faced with resistance. Seen this book recommended a couple times on HN already; adding to my toread list. Thanks!
