But I'm willing to risk going through all of that, all over again, if it means some of my suffering is relieved.

I'm in the same boat. I'm tired of being so anxious and avoidant.. I'd really like to go further with treatment as in medication but am very nervous. I started Paxil 4 years ago for anxiety and it made me lose my mind!! The anxiety increased 10000x and I hallucinated and vomited non stop.
I'm now pretty scared to try anything else
the therapy worked well into getting me feeling a little better than low. But I am still so anxious.
