Hi damaged, I'm pleased you are having a better day today :-)
That's fab advice from cimi though I agree to just try and ignore the symptoms

Yes, thank you! That's what I try to do. But unfortunately my anxiety has caused me to have some OCD rituals now. I check myself all over every morning when I get up, I weigh myself, check my blood pressure and so on before I can start my day.

I have definitely been there with the OCD and its usually one of the first things that alerts me to a bad spell of anxiety. Its when I get the sudden urge to check myself over. I think with the OCD it was all about changing the habit and I now try and laugh at myself if I find myself checking for signs and symptoms. I no it sounds easier said than done though. I used to get sick of the sight of myself in the mirror constantly checking for things lol
This does get easier though!
