I always go back to the GI Joe statement at the end of every show... "....now you know....And knowing is half the battle"

I found that if I am aware of my triggers and see them coming, I can deal with the anxiety and it stays small and doesn't cripple me. Now you know, you can let it happen and just survive till it's over.

It sounds like the kind of anxiety that comes when you realize that you are riding your bike on your own, and dad stopped holding on the back a while ago. That ACK! moment happens and you crash. But as long as you aren't thinking about it...you do fine.
