I'm Bipolar, Therefore I Can't Sleep

It seems, I have an issue that needs to be resolved, before any new changes in myself may take place. I have made great strides throughout the past year in setting and attaining goals for myself. These were not easy tasks to complete. Within the past year, I have accomplished many things I thought I was incapable of doing, kept a steady job, been promoted to the highest position in said job, quit using drugs and abusing alcohol, quit using tobacco after ten years of use, bought two newer vehicles, regained the faith and respect from my family that I had lost a few years prior, established a bank account that no longer remains in the negative, made a new friend that needs, respects and appreciates me, and became an all around responsible man. This being said, one might think I am capable of overcoming any obstacle set in my path. I hope that is true, because, nothing I have ever encountered in my life has posed greater opposition to the ultimate prosperity of my well-being than anxiety. It seems that the greatest fence to hurdle is the one you build to prevent yourself from becoming a success. My new goal is to seek professional help from those who really can help. This is a very serious and debilitating problem, those of you who knew me a few years ago would be shocked to see the man I have become. The man, who knew no humiliation and became the life of any party he entered, has by some means acquired Social Anxiety. I have tried to remedy this affliction on my own. this attempt bore no fruit. Thus leading me to seek help from a qualified expert, I have never been more afraid in my life. I am afraid I will never be released from this anxious prison. Though, rest assured I will not cease my search for help till help is found.
