im sure 19 isnt old enough to tackle it. im 16 and about to start therapy, but that dosent mean other people who are much older cant beat it.

Indeed, I'm 25 years old and it is just now that I'm making progress thanks to both CBT and REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy). I was able to go to several appointments (including a jury summon) and called to a not-for-profit organization to applied for volunteering - all with very minimal anxiety! Plus, one time a visitor and her kid came to my apartment (I live with my mom and younger sister) and I was able to stay in the same room as them without feeling any anxiety and without hesitation. I'm not over it just yet, but I'm definitely making progress!
