So for some background I’ve always had some level of anxiety, mainly social, overthinking, those kind of things.

since about February 2022 after a big fight with a close friend I have been in a constant state of physical anxiety, even though the fight was resolved, My chest is always tight, my palms are sweaty, my heart goes crazy. It doesn’t help that I got a new puppy and the anxiety has been rubbing of on her, anytime I see a person, dog, object while I’m out with my puppy my anxiety worsens, I’m worried about creating a bad experience for her but because of my anxiety I am just creating a bad experience because of how I’m feeling and she picks up on it and goes “oh well if my owner is scared, so am I!”

I’m in a constant loop of, anxious that I’m ruining puppy, ruining puppy because I’m anxious. It’s really rough and I don’t know what to do, I just need it gone!! I also can’t do basic chores and unable to finish any task I start. I’m really struggling and unable to find a fix for it myself so some advice would be amazing. Thanks.
