What do you do when your anxiety is so bad you dont do important things?

I finally gave in and decided to give medication a go because i was lets just say "dangerously depressed" this depression went on for about six months

I have bipolar depression, ptsd, and ocd

My depression and cycling moods has gone away entirely. However now that i am no longer struggling with depression and energy i am now experiencing the intensity of my anxiety.

It is so bad sometimes that i miss appointments or phone calls or dont leave the house. I was actually going to mention that to my psych but i actually missed the appointment. I also missed a bloodwork appointment and another doctor's appointment

My family gets frustrated with me because they dont understand why i cant just do this or go here or make this phone call.

Its very frustrating. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions to combat anxiety?

I make a big thing of preparation and routines when I’m extremely anxious. Plan everything meticulously and prevent rushing or taking on anything new..it also helps keep me distracted and saves me from myself.
