When we feel strong enough to do it, it is definitely time for us to push ourselves. Anxiety is not an easy thing to get over, and if we don't face our fears it won't go away. Part of my anxiety is feeling like I can't breathe at times, and I will sit there and take deep breaths. I am doing it right now just thinking about it. I have to stop taking deep breaths even though it feels REALLY hard and it makes me feel like I am going to suffocate because I know if I don't it won't go away. We have to do things like that but we also have to go with the flow and if we fight our anxiety too much it will just lead to worse problems.

Good luck to ya.
