Dear Sunny:

The car accident you had exacerbated your pre-existent anxiety (from your previous thread). Dealing and managing anxiety takes a long term, extensive plan, skills and strategies, as there will always be stressors in life.

If only we could keep our lives free from uncomfortable, undesirable events, then… well, we can’t. And even if our lives are relatively calm, an anxious person will focus on what can happen (as you are doing).

Take the long term approach of dealing, and even healing from anxiety. A competent psychotherapy is a great place to learn emotional regulation skills and to practice those.
