Dealing with Anxiety: Is it Normal to Feel More Anxious After Confronting Your Fears?

Sometimes when I'm anxious and have nothing to be anxious about, I force myself to just go do the things I'm too anxious to do, and then when I realize it's not as bad as I thought it was, I get even more anxious at the thought of being anxious again. Is that normal?

      Yes! That's totally normal and I feel the same way sometimes. It's good you're challenging yourself by doing what you're scared to do.

        @bubs34 Exactly! Challenging your anxiety is the only way to beat it, even if it'll only be temporary. The more you challenge it, the easier it'll become :)
