What does your psychiatrist have to say about your crippling anxiety?
I haven't been able to afford therapy for a while now. When I could afford it he taught me enough behavioral therapy to eventually overcome my previous entanglements, but this is something new for me.
Try your primary care doctor. I agree with above posters that some variant on CBT seems very applicable, but the kind of anxiety you're describing sounds like medication might also help. It can be easier to change your thoughts when you don't have a physical sense of danger/panic, and meds can help with that.
