I have severe anxiety to the point that I've struggled to leave the house at times. My therapist said a really good tool is to invite anxiety along with you. To say I know your coming with me, but you won't control me. The more you give in to anxiety, the worse it gets. My therapy goal this week was to buy a journal. My hands literally shook in the store, but I did it! Don't let anxiety stop you. Also I take an SSRI to help with anxiety and have clonazepam and ativan just in case. I also use CBD oil (I have a cannbis prescription) and it helps a lot.
