If you stop treating every anxious thought as a warning that requires your attention, what parts of your life, identity, or sense of control would you be afraid of losing, and what does that reveal about what anxiety has been doing for you?

Very sorry but I've read through this question several times now and still don't have a completely clear understanding of what the question is. It's philosophical as fuck, I'll give you that. Alas, I'm no philosopher. At least not in the traditional booksmart sense. I suppose I will answer in the best way I can - my life and my identity are my own and they are noone elses to control. I don't have any anxiety over my life and identity - I am perfectly comfortable in my own skin. I suppose my only anxiety would come from not being in control of that, if that makes sense? A person's identity is everything they've built their own character around, everything they know, and everything that people love them for. Remove that and you don't have the same person. Maybe that answers your question in a roundabout way?
