It depends on my energy levels.

If my mental health and sleep is otherwise OK, I usually just make myself do it.

If not, then yeah I tend to avoid stuff that makes me anxious. Sadly, a lot of the time, that includes leaving the house.

I kinda wish that making myself do stuff thst makes me anxious would work as exposure therapy but it hasn't made a difference in the last 20 years
