When you're alone at home, jump up and down and make weird noises.
Sometimes doing LITTLE spontaneous, silly things makes it easier to do the big things. Find little things you can do throughout the day.
But most of all keep going. You know all that anxiety is in your head. You are brave! I believe in you! Sending you love!
