I think it's great you found this site too. In case you didn't realize it, every feeling you have has a positive side. Once you discover benefits, you can take attention away from the fear.

Worry offers you opportunities to get-to-know yourself and to develop your problem solving skills. Figure out why you worry in different situations. Ask why what people think is important to you. It is best to concentrate on one issue at a time. That makes it easier to work though. What you think of yourself is most important. You can learn to separate yourself from what others think and learn to feel more comfortable with yourself as you are. If you aim to build self-confidence, it can help a lot to get involved in sports or other leisure activities where you develop your discipline, strengths and focus.

Relaxation, meditation and exercise can help take your mind off the anxiety. Many people who experience frequent worry report that they don't know how to relax. Taking up meditation, yoga or other slow-paced activities is relaxes the soul.
