I understand that
 everyday activities tend to drain me, I'm working in therapy and by myself with a self help workbook to learn coping skills and ways to manage anxiety

I have dealt with anxiety for years and sometimes I just freak out in my mind because I have to brush my teeth, then use a tongue cleaner, THEN I have to rinse with mouthwash. All these simple steps get me stressed and overwhelmed in my mind.
It's our mind that's telling us that we can't handle things in life. If we can somehow change the way we think, we'll be OK.
