Overcoming Anxiety with Skill and Strategy, Courage and Commitment
Anxiety is extremely manipulative in that it knows and latches on to your vulnerabilities. Body image issues—anxiety will latch on to it as disordered eating. Feeling awkward or embarrassed easily when in a social situation or with friends—anxiety will go after it as a social disorder.
