I found this site months ago and most evenings i would spend my time on here it made me feel like damnn maybe I'm not the only one going through this but then i randomly stopped coming on! But today I've felt extremely lost like ive got no one to talk to or I'm the only one struggling as I'm 27 live at home with parents got extreme anxiety and depression and also been diagnosed with autism which was kind of a shock but i guess thinking more about it its actually not a shock after all! just a shame i didn't know sooner maybe that explains why i struggle the way i do! i felt like coming on today to see if anyone is feeling this way recently wanting people to speak to like im someone who finds it hard to leave the house so meeting people isnt easy and i know on here everyone is very open and doesn't judge

Welcome back. I have a very hard time leaving the house too. You are not alone.

Hello! 🙂

You are not alone! I only recently joined the community, so I'm still finding my rhythm here but am also looking for connection.

I understand how isolating it can feel when you struggle leaving the house because of mental health conditions; I'm in the same boat! Sometimes just walking down the hall of my apartment complex is even too much for me.

I'm glad to hear that your diagnosis provided some sense of clarity and validation with your past experiences, and I hope that coming back on here lets you take that further by allowing you to connect with others who can help affirm your feelings.

Hi catmummy3

I'm glad you stopped by again. I understand in that sometimes getting out and talking

with people is not an easy task. It can help though in putting that one foot in front of

the other and get out of the 4 walls around you.

Once we are out in nature and see life all around us, it can perk us up some. Giving us

a different frame of mind. And if you should meet someone when out, a simple smile

or hello can brighten your day. You are not alone dear. We're always hear to help you

through. xx

I also struggle with severe anxiety and when my perfectly healthy 26 Nephew passed away in his sleep 1 1/2 years ago it triggered panic attacks...fortunetely Xanax works well for me. Have you tried Xanax for a short time? I realized Xanax was short term so after my anxiety and anger and emotions spun completely out of control and it put me in a bad situation, so bad I finally decided to talk about my feelings to my friends and family and it was like a weight lifted off my body. I do have some anger I didnt do this sooner😆 I could have avoided years of suffering if I had just talked to one person. I reached out to a professional.

I understand about your new diagnosis, I am 58 and was diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year, it was a bit of a surprise and my first thought was WTF, really? Well when I started reading about it I thought it was about me! I have accepted it and I am trying to incorporate the symptoms into my life as it is not severe a severe form.

You can message me any time and I will message you back, have a great weeked!!
