Anxiety is ruining my chances at an acting career.

I've been anxious my whole life, but in my late teens/early twenties (college age) it got clinically bad. That, coupled with horrible chronic digestive problems and nausea, eventually made me quit college for a semester to get medicated and back on track. I...
