New here, don't know how to move forward

So I've been dealing with anxiety for as long as I can remember (I'm 30) and until recently, had never addressed it. A couple of months ago I went through a few days of sickness and loss of appetite (I'm quite sure now it was physical anxiety symptoms) and severe panic attacks and a trip to the hospital from that led me to get help.
Since then, the nausea and physical symptoms are there almost every day and if they're not, I'm still worrying about them. I worry about getting to bed after waking up from an 8 hour sleep. I worry about being able to eat straight after dinner etc... I just can't switch them off.
I'm doing 1 on 1 CBT therapy but I honestly don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. I don't know what the end goal is. I don't know how I'm going to get better. I'm here but I don't know why I'm here. I think I just need to talk.
Sorry for long post. I've barely been out in two years and I have no friend to talk to. I think I just need to talk

You should try to work on getting your confidence back. Find something that you enjoy doing. Try to find some hippiness. Life shouldn't just be about stress, worry and loneliness! Find some better ways to spend your time and that will help to heal you mentally. If friends is what you need you'll find plenty of them here. Welcome to the community.

Thank you for your kind words. Right now I'm struggling to find something I enjoy. There are things I used to like but I just don't have the energy for them any more. I am trying to find ways to improve my confidence, that's something I've always struggled with

Welcome to the forum. Getting any way better does not just happen with the click of our fingers. How we all wish it did. It can take time. In time we might simply learn to live with our anxiety. To the point were it doesn't bother us any more. Maybe set yourself some small goals each day. Just do small things. One step at a time. You will get there in the end.
