Feelings of anxiety are a constant struggle. I find myself hiding from the world whenever possible. However, I'm able to work with colleagues and families  on my caseload, yet I find myself running from friends at church- what is that about? I am almost positive this is some kind of unreasonable expectation I have within myself. I read an article that sums up what might be at the root of this anxiety: 

-->
     "In addition to extreme avoidance of anxiety-filled situations, several human traits come together in a 'perfect storm' to create debilitating anxiety: biological vulnerability to anxiety, coupled with stress; worry; distorted perception and thinking; perfectionism; excessive niceness; and unresolved regrets."
