Should people with anxiety avoid stress?

MYTH

Stress is part of life and can be very hard, if not impossible, to avoid. It is important to seek out help to learn effective coping strategies for stressful situations. This is especially important if you are aware that certain situations (like interpersonal conflict) can trigger your anxiety. Finding coping strategies that work is possible and using them successfully can have broader positive impacts as you successfully manage stressful situations.
