Social anxiety

[Hermitt]

I'm currently seeing pyschiatrist but have extreme social anxiety disorder and recovering alcoholic. I'm sober now and used alcohol to cope but now 2yrs sober and can barely leave house. I just want to fit in or be apart of but can't. I worry so much what others think, feel awkward and embarrassed, and stay home

Don't beat yourself up. We are all imperfect in some way.

Maybe a substance abuse support group, even if online, will help you find some healthier coping strategies. You've made a good start by expressing your anxiety here. There are lots of helpful people giving away free hugs 🫂.
