It's interesting the contrast your experience is to my own. I have dealt with anxiety my whole life but didn't really want to acknowledge it until recently. My lack of awareness helped me push through a lot but at the cost of authenticity -- which in turn affects my mental and emotional health and my relationships. So good on you for being honest with yourself about anxiety -- that's something I really suck at still.

But, as the other comments have said, breaking things down into smaller doable things have really helped me at all stages. I.E. focus on getting through one assignment or one problem in the assignment. Break things down as much as possible.

Good luck on your journey and I hope you find success.
