I'm feeling like I'm losing a uphill battle on the daily. Today I went to a Friends house couldnt even bring myself to get out of my car after pulling into her driveway . I noticed there was no where to park my car and so i just drove off this is becoming to easy for me and i need health ways to deal with these issues im going through there is to many to write out

I can relate, any minor inconvenience or anything unexpected I just feel like it is easier to shut down or retreat. But at least you have a friend, I have isolated myself so much that now I have no one. Hopefully they will understand and be supportive.

I can relate 99 percent of the time i dont want to be around anyone at all . I feel like there is something wrong with me all the time because I see everone else doing things and im just locking myself inside my house and i feel like my kids have became thesame way which hurts me >. Keep your head your head up if you need a friend there is so many like us and we are always here

Thank you for sharing this feeling because I too am there that’s why I just joined this community. I feel isolated but paralyzed by overthinking to do something about it.

I understand your situation; I am fine around family and friends, but my anxiety is work related. I was a school teacher for 16 years until my anxiety became so severe that I had to stop working. I have tried to return to work because I genuinely enjoy teaching, but the anxiety has prevented me from doing so. I have thought about changing careers, but then I start to overthink and find myself doubting whether I can do that or if the anxiety will return. We are here to support each other and I truly hope you are able to get help and overcome your situation.

Sounds like you are dealing with social anxiety and are believing things about yourself that aren't true and you need to learn new healthy ways of perceiving yourself and others.

You might check out the youtube channel of Sebastiaan at social anxiety solutions he had social anxiety and now helps others overcome it. One of the problems with social anxiety is that our fear response gets triggered so quickly and we need to learn to accept it, allow it and calm ourself quickly and he uses Tapping as a way of accomplishing it. another helpful resource is the DARE Anxiety book and youtube videos for constructively learning and dealing with panic/anxiety.
