I guess this is a stupid question, but if you consciously know you have anxiety disorder, when you get anxious, can you not just say to yourself, "This is just my disorder, i can ignore it and just temper my responses/actions?"

I am scared to death of heights, and i do that whenever i have to deal with any sort of high altitude activity (like rappelling from a helo, or down the side of a wall, whatever- back when i was a grunt).

I just say, over and over, "It's all in my head."

And i was always able to get through any high alt. task i had. Have you ever tried simply saying to yourself, "It's all in my head." ?

I'm just curious.

+1 on finding yourself some reefer to chill your nerves.
