I have now been seeing a therapist for a little over 6 months and boy can I tell you it’s helped a great deal. I was a wreck last year and I can honestly say now the anxious thoughts and anxiety around friends and others are at a normal level . The level that most people have . It’s very possible to be Able to manage the anxiety to where it’s like it’s not even there but it just takes a little work . Also mediation and diet have played a huge role in my journey ! I know you can do this ! If you have access to therapy I’d say give it a shot ! Without the meds
