Exactly. Anxiety is horrible, it's an irrational fear which really means your afraid of something that most people don't even think about. Don't go to woo sites, and if your anxiety is stopping you eating, sleeping or generally stopping you functioning normally then see a doctor. In severe cases they may give you medication but most of the time they'll simply give you advise on habits that can ease anxiety. Exersise, a healthy diet and plenty of distracting activities really do work. Also, try educating yourself on the subject you feel anxious about. Usually anxiety is a fear of the unknown so learn about your main worry and you'll see how irrational you are being. In this case your worried about the 2012 hoax, so try and educate yourself so you can make up your own mind, as anxiety can stop you from taking the word of others, even people who clearly know what they are talking about.

The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.

The thing about anxiety is that you're so scared you keep wanting to read up on things to try and convince yourself either way.

I'm 17 and had suffered with anxiety since I was 12 until I was 16. If I wasn't worrying about the LHC i was worrying about global warming or 2012. I honestly know how you're feeling.

The thing is, you have to accept that the unknown is exactly that, the unknown. Nobody can know whats going to happen in the future, if you worry about everything that could harm you, you'd have a panic attack every time you left your home. You have to realise that people on this quack sites know no better than you do.

I educated myself, I was scared about global warming and so I decided to study geography to learn about it. The only way you can get over axiety is by learning what you are afraid of and staying away from things that push that fear.

Now I am an A grade student majoring in geography. I plan to go into work in meteorology - specifically natural disasters.
