Anxiety is a clever monster, makes you question and worry over everything. The more you react to what it tells you to do the worse it gets. For example, if you felt anxious about going into a shop as it was quite busy, that is a normal thing to think, nobody likes that but if you choose to avoid it like anxiety is telling you too, it gains a bit more power.
If you keep doing what it says the worse its gets until your so consumed you can't do much but if you face what is scaring you or maing you anxious, you are in control and telling yourself its not a problem but I understand as I have been there, that it is very scary but the only way to beat anxiety is to face it, live with that feeling and eventually it fades away.
If there are more deep rooted problems that are causing you stress, that will worsen the anxiety and if you can't sort these issues on your own, seeing a professional is the way to go, there is no shame in help, I am receiving help my self for my ocd.
