Pepper, I too felt very confused and anxious when I first got sober. I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't how to feel and if I did it caused anxiety, heck I had a lot of anxiety in the beginning but that was just having something I leaned on as a crutch removed from life.
I had to learn to live again and man oh man is it possible. I see you are doing counseling which I am doing as well. I didn't find immediate answers in those first sessions but they helped me with tools that I needed to stay sober and had me doing a lot of thinking.
I found that as my sessions went on that I learned more and more to me has been tremendous in my recovery.
Keep it going and one thing I found to be true is baby steps. You can do it!~
