Being selfless is not that different from being brave. It is when you are selfless that you are the bravest.
Veronica Roth
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who is detached from you. They just listen to what you tell them and you get to form the way that they see you, whereas everyone else in your life already thinks they know what you're dealing with or what you're going through. That's my recommendation for actual anxiety.
