Were you just diagnosed with "anxiety" or a specific type? If you don't feel the diagnosis really describes you, you should try to get a second opinion about it. Many people have many different types of anxiety disorders. Something that may be similar to your case could be GAD and social anxiety (which I have both). I am no professional, but if you want someone to talk to about it, just PM me. Hope this helps
