What if the anxiety doesn't go away if you distract yourself?

[IloveGod]

Honestly, the therapist always says distract yourself, maybe the anxiety will go away? But, what if no matter how much you try you still can't and he symptoms are still there stronger? Makes me think it's not "just" anxiety.

To be honest I think it doesnt go away because maybe you are not ignoring the core problem of the anxiety, you can't just "run away" from your problems.
