I'm not sure if my previous message was accepted or not. I have had mild anxiety for a number of years. I have never sought medical help for this as I felt it could be overcome through attitude or reason or thinking, but I'm not so sure anymore. Invariably it happens when I am away from my family. The crazy thing is that I feel I have been so lucky in my life. I am, except when this occurs, a very happy and seemingly well-adjusted person. When anxiety occurs I walk the floor, play solitare, crosswords; but nothing seems to work. The real issue is that I can't seem to get to the reasons for the anxiety... Maybe that's not something that I can get to.... Any thoughts?

Have you thought at all about going to see a therapist? It seems like you have questions that might not be able to answer without uncovering yourself.

Just a thought! Also, maybe give self-help books a try. Dr. Claire Weekes is apparently a phenomenal author on anxiety.
