    A complete and utter mental break down which culminated with me bursting into tears in my supervisor’s office. He’s a cool guy though, so that was just very awkward for him.

    Overall, not an approach I would recommend, but it did put things into perspective for me. I did seek professional help after that, but I had already broken through a lot of the tough stuff. Also, it took 2-1/2 months to see a psychiatrist.

    As for anxiety overall, it never really goes away. You can learn to recognize it and develop habits to break that feedback loop. Sometimes I have to say to myself, “It’s time to stop this,” then mean it and actually deal with what’s put me in a higher state of anxiety.
