Hi, Shannon. Until you can find a 'live' group in your city, you're welcome to participate in this group. If you feel yourself getting worse as you say you do, then perhaps you would consider following the panic program to help you challenge your anxious thoughts. You don't have to race through it. In fact, it's better when you take your time and do it well. By challenging your anxious thoughts you may just see a halt in your spiral and a turn upward towards progress.
