"It works if the anxiety stems from the paranoia."
What an interesting perspective. I don't know if my anxiety stems from my paranoia. I think it is the other way around, actually. My anxiety seems to stem from a place in which I feel completely abandoned in the world, unable to take care of myself, and unable to manage the "stress" of "extroverting" myself. I feel like there is a wall of anxiety around my being. I believe it is related to two things: 1) the horribly broken adult-child of alcoholic brain chemistry I inherited from my mother 2) the horribly broken and abusive way my mother beat down my masculine personality, bonding me to her in such a way that it seems "wrong" to assert myself in the world, even as an adult.
Anyway, short of someone paying for and convincing me that some type of Janovian Primal Therapy will do the trick (which I have always wanted to believe could), I guess all I have is whatever messy patches psychiatry can come up with.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Chris
