I'm scared of making conversation with people because I'm awkward.

Unless it's a comepletely professional environment I struggle to make conversation with people so some days I can't talk at all because I'm terrified of the words that will come out of my mouth. On these day I lay in bed all day. I pull my shades and try to stay calm and away from and person. I have a pet bearded dragon and she is really helpful sometimes but other times I just cry until I can't anymore because my head and chest feel like they are going to explode. I've never had any kind of professional opinion on what is wrong with me but I feel so anxious about thinga that other people say is not a big deal like how terrifying it is to talk to people sometimes but I feel like no one ever understands. Because sometimes I'm so happy and friendly and other times I feel almost zombielike I'm just living because I'm breathing... Barely.

If you're having trouble functioning, please make an appointment with your doctor ASAP, and get medical treatment started. This will not magically go away by itself. Let others help you with this.

I’m so sorry you’re going through a tough time. Please go talk to a doctor. This isn’t your fault. Our brains and nervous systems need maintenance and medications just like every other organ in our body. Talk to a doctor and get some help. I promise only good will come from it.
