Suggest Treatment For Anxiety

About a year ago I had a health scare. I had a breast tumor that turned out to be benign. However, it took a lot of time to rule out cancer so I spent months in fear. Luckily, it was benign and I am so relieved. The problem is that I still experience anxieties. I just feel off and I am very irritabile and it even affects my relationship with my husband. What can I do? I feel like I didn t get over that experience and I don t know what to do to fully move on. I feel like I have a PTSD or something
