Hello, so recently I have been trying to tackle my anxiety through exposure to the source of anxiety. 

So for example, i love playing volleyball but I always avoid going to play because of anxiety so I have been trying to go anyway, or I get anxious when I'm late to something even if it's not in my control.  Like sometimes I'll be late to class cause of bus delays. I hate walking into class and seeing everyone turn to look at you and I get worried about my teachers opinion of me.

 I used to not care about certain things like this, especially being late to class I used to never care but post quarantine my anxiety is worse than ever. Despite my repeated exposure to these things, I still feel super anxious every time I think of them. It is also exhausting having to confront that anxiety every single time I feel it, sometimes I truly do just want to skip class rather than go late or just not go to volleyball but I can't tell if that's counterproductive to the idea of exposure therapy. 

Any thoughts or wisdom on the situation would be helpful
