You sound quite uncomfortable with the level of anxiety you are experiencing.
It seems like you are doing lots of things to try to counter your anxiety.
Congrats on that!
Do you take meds in addition to Xanax?
Sometimes, other meds are used to address anxiety, meds like antidepressants and others.
I think the timing is great on seeing a psychiatrist, as a med adjustment (or addition) may prove very helpful to you.
