Reaching out - anxiety and isolation

[Bellacat]

Any advice or support would be very helpful. I struggle with severe anxiety around my appearance and I obsess and I become very isolated because of this. I feel very alone . I don't know how to break these patterns no matter how hard I try and I live inconstant fear it feels like. I'm totally new to this forum but what are good ways to deal with ocd type anxiety and loniless or what's worked for you or even just some words of understanding would be great.

Hi Bella and welcome here :)

I don't really have any words of wisdom for you at the moment. I've suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression for decades though. Reaching out can be quite difficult, so at least you've done that. These things thrive on isolation..

Cheers,
