Anxiety causes me not to feel like myself

Kind of turned into a rant.
So I've struggled with anxiety quite badly for the past year and a half. Some days can be really good, I often get headaches or I'm a bit shaky even on those days but I'm happy at least. Other days I just wake up knowing the day is going to be terrible, my head is pounding making me feel dizzy, my stomach aches and im convinced whatever I'm doing that day is going to go terribly. I don't think irrationally when I'm like this, I get angry and upset at the same time. I used to be talkative, friendly, the one always making jokes and having a laugh. Now I'm quiet 90% of the time and always tired. There's been days I've felt so anxious and my DH isn't at home so my DD has missed nursery. It was worse when she did mornings because I always find my anxiety is at its worse in the morning. I stopped working a year ago, I'm hoping to get a new job once we've moved in August. I see a therapist once a week but it just doesn't seem to help. I don't like to be judgemental but honestly I don't really like her, she doesn't seem to take me seriously. I just wish there was something to "fix" me. I seem to be a burden on my family and friends.
