Yes anxiety was taking over my life and making me miserable. I didn't feel like going to a psychologist because I didn't like the idea of being "labeled" anything. I cam across lucid dreaming and this wonderful website which became my lucid dreaming hub. I did tons of research and read stories about how it helped people with numerous anxiety, stress and depression issues. Once I became extremely fluent at inducing lucid dreams pretty much on command I began experiments of my own with which I found that learning about myself through my dreams and doing relaxation exercises in my dreams (ex. escaping to my ideal 'calm place' and just letting everything go, feeling free, confronting any anxious feelings through my unconscious) I was able to relieve anxiety feelings in my waking life and it really has helped me beyond measure.
