Hi everyone,

So recently my anxiety has gotten much worse and it seems to be related to very specific actions/events.  There seems to be two schools of thought when it comes to dealing with this.  The first is trying to systematically desensitise yourself to the activity by doing it regularly and gradually showing yourself there's nothing to be afraid of.  The other is taking a break from that activity and hopefully in the future you forget why you were afraid of it in the first place.  It seems to me that both of these could have some pretty negative drawbacks.  So does anyone have advice on which approach works best for them?  Would you say it's situation-specific?

Thanks for any help anyone can give
