I get uncomfortable when people are nice to me i get tense when i answer comments thinking do they genuinely care. After i got adopted it took years for my parents to be able to touch me. I'm 22 and yesterday they were having a bbq an aunt hugged me i thought i was having a seizure

Well im okay managing one day at a time really all we can do haha but i have severe anxiety when it comes to leaving my town as soon as i graduated highschool and became "adult" independent is my biggest fear since i was always sheltered from negativity so i really fear being on my own i guess ? Idk how to describe my fear

Really hope you're doing ok Edward and still going to your sessions
