Lately it's just been so difficult to see friends and family. Even though I live at home, everyone works and has other stuff to do, so I'm usually on my own and it makes my anxiety/depression so much worse. I almost felt like myself again when family visited for christmas, but now I feel myself slipping back. It's so frustrating and scary and even though I'm doing everything I can, nothing ever seems like enough. The only positive is that it's a little easier dealing with anxiety when I know I just need to get out more and nothing's actually wrong.

I’m sorry you are feeling that loneliness and depression coming back again.. I relate to this post so much if I’m being honest. I’m glad you can find ways to ease your anxiety. You just may need to find the strength to continue to do the things that don’t interest you (because you can lose a lot of interest with depression), then you will thank yourself later. You have more connections and love around you than it feels right now in this moment. You say you almost felt like yourself again, but that best version of you is still inside of you. It’s frustrating and scary, I know. But you’re never alone, I hear you.
find a hobby
I know the feeling. I usually reach out on here or PM some people on here that have given me support. It makes me feel less alone in my struggles. It’s been very difficult for me as well to see my friends. I don’t have a drivers license but all of them do. I’m scared to drive especially having physical anxiety symptoms mostly every other day.
Maybe you could pick up a hobby? What are your interests?
Hey, don't lose hope..... you are not alone..... the quarantine sucks for us eventhough it was nice in the Beginning. Don't stay depressed on the bed all day if you do so. Get out of the house, make yourself comfortable, if you can talk to others or be there for others.... that way you can forget about your pain and suffering for a while a pickup your life. Also, stay engaged in any sort of activity that you are interested in, keep your mind busy... things will turn around good.... patiently act.....
Have pictures on your phone and a few pictures in frames around you and when you see them let the love flow and become stronger while you wait to see them again
