Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Everything that goes even slightly wrong hits me at the same maxed-out intensity
• The voice in my head when I’m anxious is brutal
• I worry I’ve accidentally taught my child that only being calm and happy is acceptable, because now they hide it or insist they’re "fine" when they’re clearly upset
• The instant I feel my heart skip or my chest tighten, I’m sure something is really wrong with me, and the fear of the sensation spins it into something bigger
• I keep asking the people around me "are you sure it’s fine?" over and over
