Hi Jess,

Thanks for sharing on the forum.

You have not mentioned if you are seeing a health professional so I will presume no.

Generally psychotherapy (talking therapy) is successful in treating anxiety and using exposure therapy for specific phobias.

Medications can help reduce the anxiety and panic symptoms you experience from thinking about or being exposed to the object or situation you fear.

Have you seen a doctor for a general health check up and referral for the psychotherapy sessions?

Tough as it sounds, doing nothing is not an option to "get your old life back".

Just make sure you book a long appointment with the doctor so that you have time to talk about the anxiety & your general health. It will be helpful if you can make a few notes about how long you have experienced the anxiety, where it happens and what if anything triggers it.
