..or perhaps you are picking up on the hidden, denied and carefully denounced truths (symptoms) that must be faced if this species is to mature? As humans we are constantly filtering and adjusting our perceptions to create the world we actualize with our group think beliefs. When these beliefs are colliding, when they no longer serve or are exposed by research and cumulative experiences, to be false, absurd or products of forgivable, understandable ignorance- being anxious is probably a sign of intelligence. Chasing the fear is another thing. I was able to give mine boundaries, I thought i was poisoned, looked up how long arsenic would take to kill (Tylenol tampering was in the news) and accepted the 15 minutes of hell, knowing that if i didn't die , i was OK. It took a few years but they eventually faded away. It was only after they had all but disappeared that i heard the terms panic attack and then the new label- anxiety disorder.
