> CBT almost entirely resolved my baseline 'mental' anxiety of the nature you seem to explain. YMMV.

That is CBT with a therapist, or self-applied CBT? I've been meaning to go through "Feeling Good" book, it seems to be widely regarded as an effective way to apply CBT to yourself.

First with a therapist but then self-applied. I think I needed an external "benchmark" to calibrate against and gain some structure from first.

Thanks. I hope I'll find some non-stupidly-expensive CBT therapist at some point. Did you use any resources for self-applied CBT, or were just basing on the things you learned on therapy?

The latter. It was more having some mental artillery to use than a particularly formal process.
