Hi Keon,

Thank you for reaching out! It sounds like you are aware that you have limiting beliefs, which is a HUGE first step. Becoming aware of beliefs can help you to take strides toward redefining them.

Often, anxiety is caused by a subconscious mind that feels unsafe, due to deep-seated beliefs that trigger the fight-or-flight response. Seeing a doctor for medication can be a good first step, and calm the noise enough that you can move forward. But, ultimately, you will want to look at your thoughts and beliefs and redefine this reality that you are seeing. As the previous posters have mentioned, there are a number of avenues toward doing this.

Here is a post I wrote about the fight-or-flight response, which may be helpful: http://www.blogher.com/understanding-and-managing-your-fight-or-flight-response?crumb=19 .

Hang in there, and keep us posted!
