Hi pink x I am excactly the same, anxiety takes who you where and makes you someone different. But even with anxiety you can still be happy, it's all about readjusting and embracing the new you and learning to live with the good and bad days. I don't go out hav,nt in over a year and I don't cope with anxiety, not well anyway. It's all about finding the balance god for you and controlling it with your own methods. Have your tried therapy ?? Cbt is very good at calming and relaxing xx one day you will notice you have moved on and are coping, it's the way it seems to work x donver
