> Yeah I feel like I'm supposed to be able to instantly see the problem on a little introspection yet that never happens. Constantly wondering why I feel like this doesn't seem to help much.

Generally it doesn't. Anxiety disorder is irrational, pretty much by definition. So looking for a reason for the anxiety will IMO not be that helpful. (Yes in small amounts, for sure, but you'll soon face the law of dimishing returns.) But if you treat anxiety as your brain mis-firing and acting irrationally, you will I think be more successful. That's how the links I gave you treat it. IANAD, but these techniques worked for me, and I believe the research is pretty positive about them.

OTOH, CBT is good, I recommend it. ACT grew out of CBT.

I wish you the best.
