<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Met a girl that works next door at my boss's other business and there seems to be some mutual interest so I've been trying to ask her out for over a month. But because of stress in my personal life (work, cancer checkups) my general anxiety has gone through the roof, and I'm already an anxiety prone person. I usually have little problem dating and managing my anxiety, but I think the combination of current stresses have overwhelmed me to the point of daily panic attacks. I feel like I need to focus on my mental health again, but while giving up on certain things makes me less anxious it also makes me feel more defeated.

I run into her often and I've been avoiding her lately, which I feel bad about, but it's just one of a couple stressful things I can control and postpone. I just think in the long run I'll regret how I'm handling things right now, but it's all I can think of to keep the panic attacks minimal.
<bot>: What should I do if I hit it off with someone but I'm not in a good enough headspace to date?
