<prompt> Human: Im sorry if this isnt the proper sub. Delete away and I will move it if thats the case. My problem is that I find my finances difficult to analyze constantly because looking at them sends me into an anxiety attack. I dont know exactly why. Im solvent. I save 18 of my income roughly every month, and thats after all bills, loan payments etc. I give myself 1000 a month for expenses incl. food, I walkbike most places. But I always feel panicked about money. My meager savings are growing, but I cant look at atm receipts or do much online because I start freaking out. The numbers-advice here is solid. Any emotonal-psychological advice? Am I alone in my freak-outs?  <response>: This is a psychological problem and not a personal finance one. You should speak to a doctor or other professional.Im terrified of flying; its really embarrassing. When I have to fly I have trouble sleeping for days and I pretty much have a constant anxietypanic attack for the entirety of the flight. I know that flying is the safest form of travel and all the statistics people throw at you. I was so embarrassed about it that I didnt do anything for a long time to correct it then my wife finally convinced me to talk to my doctor about it. I wish I had ages ago.
