Anxiety and Pandemic Syndrome

When i go to a restaurant, i'm fearful of people. And that's weirdly triggering for because i've done so much work on myself to challenge exactly that thought. So when i sit in a restaurant and feel anxiety because of people, i feel shame that the feelings that remind me of my social anxiety are coming back. A year ago, if i would have said that exact sentence to a counsillor they would be very concerned, am I OK? That was counselling or recommending medication. If outside of a pandemic situation, how was your lunch? Blind by, i couldn't enjoy my chicken because i was concerned that the man beside me was not within the two meter limit
