So I suffer from general anxiety and social phobia, and with the aid of medicine I've been able to go hang out with 2 friends at a hookah bar here in town that I've been to multiple times. I'm very comfortable there, but still sometimes I feel very anxious and need to leave. But this is only recently and it's a giant leap from what I was able to do weeks ago.
The issue is that my mother is now complaining about me not having a job, and I don't have a job because of my anxiety. She actually outright said that it's all about money and that if I can go out with my friends, I can get a job and pay for my own living expenses. No matter what I tell her, she just can't seem to understand that I can't control this problem yet, even though I try and struggle with my anxiety every single day.
