Anxiety beating me

...See more So, I first had a big bout of anxiety when I was finishing my degree. It was a really stressful time and I got really worried about it. I worried that I was going to fail and then once I had passed, I was worried someone would decide I shouldn't have my qualification and take it off me. I went to my gp and was told I could self refer to a CBT service. I didn't want to go but knew I should so every week went along to a group session. Not long after that, I felt better. Couldnt say if it was the therapy or if my anxiety had just lessened as it had been reducing anyway. I had moved away, I had a new job, I was moving on. Fast forward a few years. I was doing a job i loved, living in my first owned house that i loved. I was happy. My husband got offered a brilliant job 3 hours away. If he accepted it, we definitely had to move. I was upset but I thought I was okay. We stayed in our house while I had to find a new job, and sell the house, and my husband worked out his notice. I lived at home for 3 weeks alone whilst my husband stayed near his new job. I was a little anxious about things but okay. We then moved into our house and I started my new job. 2 months later, our beloved cat died. I was so worried we had done something wrong or missed something. Turns out there was nothing we could have done. But since then I've been getting so many intrusive thoughts and feeling awful. We have just got new kittens again and I'm feeling so anxious all the time.
