Dear wishingforbetter08:

You wrote that you have been seeing a therapist for 8 years? Any insight gained there? Any skills learned (to regulate emotions, to pay attention, mindfulness, that is)? What has the therapy been about all these years?

Before your freshman year in college you were concerned with your face, thinking it was ugly. Your anxiety eight years ago turned to your body, down from your face to your body and weight has been a concern.

What was your anxiety about before college, when you were a child?
