Which authors are best to help me understand/deal with anxiety?

I am aware of Kierkegaard and have begun reading him. It would be great to get an opinion that differs from him, too. 

Obviously I am asking this as I have discovered that I have anxiety.

Insofar as this is a thing*: Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus (the Stoics) are helpful guides for coming to terms with life's difficulties.

*Disclaimer: *However* there are lots of very good reasons to think that reading philosophy will not help you deal with anxiety.  David Hume famously said that reading and doing philosophy made him quite depressed.  (He solved this problem by hanging out with his friends and playing backgammon and not doing philosophy for a while.)  Whatever you decide to read, please consider talking to someone about your anxiety - either a person who has figured out how to manage theirs in an apparently healthy way or a mental health professional who you decide you can trust.  If the zest of philosophy is what speaks to you, you can even find some who are philosophical counselors.  (A few lurk here.)
