Manuela - Love your words that we are "all on the same boat" - such a visual - it actually made me laugh!
It also made me think of something that I want to share with you all. You know how they say that instead of fighting against or hating a disease, that one should show it love and compassion? Well.....let's love these feelings of anxiety and not resist them. Let's just love it to death!!! It will not have much fun with us any longer which means it won't bother wasting its time on us. That will drive it crazy!

Adrien,
That sounds like a great idea!
If we can all find a way to do it, it just might work.
Actually from experience I've noticed that the more fearful I am the more anxious I get.
The minute I am able to say to myself, "it's ok, let it go, this is not scaring me, (and mean it) somehow the fear goes away.
Probably the biggest reason for our anxiety is low tolerance for ourselves and situations in our lives(including anxiety). The sooner we accept and even embrace the not so good things in life and in ourselves the better. And a big dose of good humor is great. I'm glad you found "the boat" funny!
