I'm aware. I do study psychology, although my personal passion is microbiology.

I sometime do have some reservations against what happens in psychology departments, but I don't think they are completely hopeless.

You could start a self help group with fellow psychology students. It would likely be a more productive road then seeking help on the internet.

There are various CBT techniques in the literature for dealing with anxiety that you can do as peer training.

You might even use the daily gratitude sharing exercise in such a group.
