Look at it this way, OP. You got to the beta stage of your fic AND you've posted your secret about your fic you didn't hand in. You've gotten pretty far in spite of your anxiety.

I have horrible anxiety issues too, as well as depression, that have had me in intensive therapy and on medication for the past six months. In August, I was a complete wreck in the hospital. I'm doing much better now, but I still face my anxiety everyday.

(Ironically, the one big social-related anxiety I'm still trying to tackle is PHONE CALLS. Right now, it helps when my mother dials for me and talks to the person first, then hands the phone over to me. And I can't manage leaving messages on voicemail worth a damn... nor can I order delivery from my fave Chinese restaurant. But I'm working on it.)

Even when you pace yourself, you'll still feel the fear. You have to feel the fear and do it anyway. Because once you've faced your fear and accomplished in spite of it, you'll know you can do it again. And again. And again. Keep trying, take it slow, and try to be more gentle on yourself.

Don't think about how far you have to go. Think about how far you've already come. It won't take away the anxiety, but it'll make it a little easier to bear. Also, take comfort in knowing that NOBODY's got it all figured out, and nobody worth your time will judge you for not being perfect.

TL, DR: You got to the beta stage, OP. It's just one small click from there to submitting your fic. You can do it. :)
