I start to think my anxiety prevents me from trying new things

that I can't apply for job because I always doubt myself, and I also don't feel confident about my drawing skill and hardly improve because of my anxiety. I like to imagine I can do a lot of things, but when I want to try, that anxious feelings are telling me to not try. Like what if I mess up, what if they don't accept me. What if I fail. I want to apply for a job where I draw for children book, but I'm not good at drawing background.. and also bad at poses 🥲

it's not like I don't want to work. I want to but, I can't imagine myself working under pressure because I feel so anxious. Like when I got someone that commissioned my artwork I immediately worked on it trying to finish it quickly because I felt so anxious while working on it too.. When I was anxious, I felt cold 😰. Just sharing my story here.. maybe someone can give me advice? thanks in advance
