An advice I once got from psychoanalyst I had been consulting for a few month: do not identify yourself to your pathology.

There are two faces of the coin once your condition is named:

- it can be a relief: I have that, what can I do to improve it

- it can be an impairment: if it gets all your focus

I think of this because you put capital letters to "Anxiety Issues", and also because the diagnostic sounds pretty vague. Be aware that many people have psychological, psychiatric or other medical conditions, and still live what looks like a normal life to others. So take care of yourself, but do not let those two words have all the focus.
