My anxiety cripples me and I can't even go to school. I worry and worry and worry for no reason whatsoever. I am thinking about my 9:00 am right now, and how I will justify to myself to get up, get ready and then grab the keys and turn around and not go after all.

I'm so sorry that you struggle with this too. I can relate.

Sometimes when my anxiety is controlling me I tell myself that a part of me is a little child, and the adult part of me has to take the child part and guide it where the adult knows the whole self needs to go. Then I allow the adult to be in control, without overthinking...I just do what needs to be done.

I hope this makes sense, and helps.
