HI Kate
I know how you feel..but you are doing the right thing! You are carrying on with your life despite your setbacks. Don't let it control you ..that is something I am coming to grips with. Do whatever made you happy before you had really bad anxiety. That is how to beat it. You are feeling great discomfort because you are comfronting something that doesn't want to go away. Be strong..I know it is the hardest thing to do.You can do it!
