Evening, I am pretty new on this subreddit, but I have suffered from severe anxiety forever.  I don't mean that figuratively either, I don't remember a time that I wasn't scared, anxious, a thousand thoughts ramming into each other all at once, staying away from crowds because I worry i'm dirty or unloveable, etc.  Much of it extending from childhood traumas.

But I wanted to create this post to ask if anyone has been able to turn this sometimes debilitating disorder into a super power?  If so would you mind sharing the concepts behind how you did it?  

Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great new year!
