When I was 14 I was playing Call of Duty with my friends one night and then had my first panic attack once I turned the game off. Whether it had something to do with the fact that I was hyped up from the game or just life anxiety in general I don't know, but ever since then I've had general anxiety. It's been four years since then and I still can't play any video games at all now without getting anxiety that will cripple me for days or weeks. At first I was upset about this but I've now given video games up and really don't care about playing them again (I think I was addicted anyways lol). The problem is now that about a year ago I got into guitar playing. At first it was really fun and I was really enjoying it but then about 3 months ago I randomly started to worry that what happened to me and games would happen to me and the guitar and it did. I can't play anymore without my hands shaking and getting a headache that will last days. I've tried exposure therapy and just forcing myself to play the guitar for a set amount of time but it only seems to reinforce the anxiety. I also talk to a therapist and they're great but besides breathing exercises and rational self-talk they don't really have any other tips. If anyone else has ever dealt with something like this do you have any advice? Thanks
