Dealing with anxiety is very personal and unique. There are so many factors involved with a person's ability to cope with anxiety that derive from all facets of one's life.

Past traumas which force one to face and deal with anxiety, one's natural disposition: some are more able to handle stress and ambiguity than others, support from friends and families, previous treatment and medication experiences, past experience and familiarity with the life event creating the current anxiety event, etc.

Much like us with HNC, we have have the same diagnosis and treatment yet our reactions can be vastly different. In that respect, one needs to learn what tools, techniques, and therapies work for others than self-discover those which might help and also then seek professional expertise if unable to resolve the anxiety oneself. don
