Hi everyone!

For context I am 18 years old and was diagnosed with GAD just over a year ago. I was always pretty confident going outside alone (I have lived alone since I was 16) and never really had anxiety linked to generally going outside. However, due to UK lockdown restrictions and me living in what was a Tier 3 area (highest level of COVID restrictions) I have become used to only going outside with members of my support bubble and only going to the same places (local supermarkets for a weekly shop). Now that my area has reduced COVID restrictions I'd like to start going out more, alone, but I have so much anxiety about it. It isn't even anxiety linked to COVID directly, I'm anxious about things like crossing roads which I have never been particularly anxious about before. The outside world feels so alien to me now.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me to start overcoming this anxiety?
