I think it's quite normal to be anxious at table specially if you're a new player just starting out and even an avg rec/hobby player coming back after a longish break. I've been both.

What I did to battle this was back before I first started playing on Pokerstar's play money tables. Help get me comfortable with the software and the online game flow. I still was a bit nervous when I deposited my first $150 and started on real money tables. but I'm sure I was less nervous then I would have been had I not played a bit of the play money tables.

After a few years of playing I took my first 2-3 break. Upon coming back I was a bit nervous. Turns out poker is just like riding a bike. Once you got it you got it and you just pick right up where you left off before the break. My last break was about 5 years long. Was pretty nervous coming back after 5 years away. I was nervous for first 7k-10k hands. After that I got comfortable and it  like riding bike. Player pool had changed that much.

EDIT: If anything it makes one more careful and tight when it comes to ranges.

Cheers!!!
