Hi introvertguy. Welcome! It's great you're planning on working with a therapist. That can be very helpful. And hopefully you'll find a T who can teach you some practical skills to manage your anxious thoughts. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is effective for lots of people with Anxiety Disorders.

It's really good you're reaching out here for support too. This is a very friendly community and I have found it super helpful to share experiences with others who understand how I feel. I hope you find it helpful too!
