Thank you both of you for the wonderful comments. :)
I agree with what you have both said, that the anxiety is the bigger problem, and if course, does no good for the condition itself. I have been taught breathing techniques to calm my heart rate etc to calm any brewing anxiety, although I have also struggled sometimes as when I get in a state I can be like that for hours before I just end up having a full blown anxiety attack, and most of the time it's not even over something with being anxious about.
I'm not constantly this anxious, but when I get to that state, I will try to do anything to snap myself out of it. I've even gone to the extent that I have a knife hidden in my bedroom if I ever need to keep it from escalating. I know that isn't the way to go, and I haven't had to go that far as of yet - and it worries me that is hot top this point - but sometimes when I'm alone and scared I need to snap myself out of it before this gets out of hand.
So yes, I think the anxiety is the underlying issue, and I've found a foum that I've just been reading into and the anxiety is another symptom of it. It's a vicious circle, really, and right now I'm really worried about all the things that will go wrong if I can't keep myself together over this.
