My anxiety has completely messed up my life.
I have no social life and no friends, no real connection to anyone. My social anxiety extends to my family, including my own parents. I cannot do anything by myself. Even the littlest things I am incapable of doing and because of that, people, my family included, believe that I have some sort of disability when it's actually my anxiety causing me to behave this way. I saw a mental health clinician however I seldom attended my sessions with her because I do not like opening up to people and also I have anxiety when going places on my own. I am turning eighteen and I have basically given up on my education, cannot get a job (I have tried and I've only had one interview so far which my anxiety sabotaged terribly.) and I have no idea what to do. I really, really cannot do anything on my own but I will be expected to as soon as I turn eighteen which is in less than a month.
