So, I am sitting on the bench in the locker room and it struck me: "That is life. Here I can learn how to curb my anxiety and enter the "battlefield" leaving emotions behind. Here I can practice detaching myself from the situation. Here I can learn how to control what I can control and stop worrying about what I can't control".

That is why I needed it. I didn't even know it, but I needed it.

At some point anxiety disappeared.
