When my anxiety is really high I have to try my best to distract myself any way I can and remove myself from any situation/place that can aggravate it.

I'm glad that you find comfort in the psalms. Are there other things you can do to distract yourself? Is your cat any more comforting than she has been in the past? Would she interact with you more if you bought a toy you could play with her with or a laser pointer?

Hugs to you, BF
