struggle with friends and relationships

Does anyone else have the same struggles? You can't stay in a relationship long. The anxiety and depression always get in the way and ruin it. Also, I'm like friendless.

Hey Katie, I totally understand where your coming from... It def puts a dent on the relationship it's like nothing is the same anymore even if you try your best anxiety symptoms always get in the way and stop you from living the life you would like to live and stops you from doing the things you used to do with your partner ... It definitely becomes a burden and it's hard for the other person to truly understand wha your going through .. All we need to do is stay focus as for friends they called me so much they stop calling me cause of my anxiety physical issues ... What can we do just take it day by day and stay as positive as possible this soon will also pass and one day we will be set FREE..... Take care and have a good night .... Hope your feeling well ...

Yes, I don't like to go far from home , eat at restaurants, go into many places, or really feel like hanging out long. I can do an hour or two outside at parks or backyard bbq. But it's okay, you'll find patient friends who will be okay with what makes you comfortable.

Hiya. You may have social anxiety disorder. I have it I don't really have any friends either. I used to get invited out places but wouldn't go as I didn't much like being in a public setting. I've driven people away. I've always been useless at relationships. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's my condition. I have panic disorder and also suffer bas depression.

Hello Katie. I think with me I tend to put off getting into a relationship at times with my depression and certain anxieties. A lot of the time I feel I want to be sorted out before getting involved although I would like to be in a relationship.

Also with anxieties and when I end up isolating myself throuout my life I too have at times avoided seeing friends even family.

Like years back when I abruptly left school I avoided most people from school in general since then, feelings of inadequacy non achievement etc.. Also bumping into old friends parents, neighbours etc.

When I feel better I generally can brave through getting by and on in life but not entirely, still avoiding some the chance of being seen even by neighbours, I feel much better when I'm somewhere away from the vicinity.

Over the years I have forged good friendships that will always be there but at the moment I have faltered and been a bit isolated generally from society.

Anyway I hope you are all ok and having a good bank holiday weekend although it is a bit gloomy and wet today. :)
