I think this is my biggest problem with my anxiety and I know I probably tend to wear our people with my reassurance seeking. I am really trying to work on only doing it when I really need it as you said. I think learning to reassure yourself is definitely a key to coping. I know I will need to learn and practice it because I tend to run to anyone I can when I get anxious, but I'm the only one who can truly tell myself that the things I am anxious about won't come to pass.

I fully agree with it. I like how you are focusing on HEALING instead of coping. So many anxiety articles are about coping, symptoms, and coping with symptoms. It takes someone who has lived through it, and can take the time to share a few nuggets of wisdom to help show the rest of us the way out of this mess. I am a frequent visitor to this site, (Especially of the "why having anxiety doesn't mean you're crazy" article, which is my worst fear and constant anxiety!) and I think you are doing a really wonderful thing here!
