It has never been about control for me, it's been about living without any anxiety!  When anxiety hits me I can't cope.  I can't go anywhere.  I can't function.  Which is why I have an emergency pill 'as necessary'.  When I don't have any anxiety I could take on The World  ::).

My post was specifically about 'health anxiety', so the fear that you are seriously ill and/or about to die, as in hypochondria (in the true sense rather than the everyday derogatory use!).

All psychological anxiety will have a source that's personal to you, although you may be consciously unaware, unless its purely the physical adrenaline type we get with the oestrogen surges. Unfortunately, we can't do much psych-wise with that, so that's when the HRT and beta-blockers can be of immense value!
