caligirl,

I thought I’d chime in here even though there is such a long give-and-take already.

I see a pattern of anxiety. Your first post stated that.  I also saw someone posted about General Anxiety Disorder.

You are self-aware enough that this permeates all of your life.

I can understand the frustration and pain of your struggle around this especially how it affects your dating life.

I am more curious about how you are addressing your anxiety.

You mention that you and your sister are practicing Cognitive Behavior Therapy with each other.

What else are you doing to help alleviate your anxiety?

By the way, it seems there are a lot of postings on how anxiety cripples and negatively affects our lives.
