oh my…. no wonder anxiety can be so hard to treat! The first step is to write down your own anxiety symptoms so that you can separate yourself from the anxiety- then you can create a plan to take care of the anxiety so that you can get on with life. This is how the Health Cards work. We have to know what we are up against in order to get better.<\/p>\n
