I feel like I'm in a bad place right now.

As I said before I have anxiety and I think that it was/is bad. It made me feel very depressed nearly everyday. But recently for a while I had some counseling sessions which I found helpful but they discharged me because they thought I was doing well because I was finally talking to people a bit and I made some friends. But even though I am with people that I can hang around with my anxiety is still ruining things for me because last year I missed a lot of my classes because I was too scared to be there. I'm afraid that I'm going back to how I was last year because I tried to miss a class the other day but I ended up going but today I missed two classes and didn't hang around with my new friends. It's like I'm going back to the way I was before and I keep having break downs. My anxiety is also making me not talk to my new friends as much as I was before like I spoke a bit but now I'm starting to go quiet again and the fear of them not liking me because of that is making me not talk to them more and more. I don't know what to do. Please help. 😢😢😢

It’s common to feel scared of going backwards when we’re doing okay. It sounds like you are doing okay going to therapy and hanging out with friends. Try to have faith and keep doing what you’re doing. Because your therapist is right. You are making big steps. Good steps. It sounds like you might be getting triggered by certain things from last year, but if you try and keep those things in the past, you can concentrate on “now.” And keep hanging out with friends I think it’ll help and feel less uncomfortable the more you do it. You can do this! Hugs 🤗

I've had peaks and valleys in my own anxiety. The outside world and circumstances therein can press in on us in unexpected ways. That's a lot of emotion to process. Don't beat yourself up too bad, you seem to be analyzing your thoughts and actions appropriately. Have you thought about reconnecting with your counseling?
