First of all, standing ovation and twelve thousand high fives.
Secondly, as someone with anxiety disorder, thank you for being so honest about your journey in this and how anxiety played a part. I have forfeited huge opportunities, as well, because of my anxiety - including a free trip to Paris - but I think it's so important to share that this happens and that it's okay. I used to beat myself up about it, and now I realize that this is just part of me taking care of myself and a health issue that I have. So double standing ovation!
