Hi Guys.
Female in my 20s. Have had anxiety probably longer than I can remember. My anxiety prevents me from doing normal things in life I.e. Drive a car, want to take bus, take public transport, meet new people etc
I get nervous about things that others would consider 'normal'. I've basically tried the approach where you are scared but do it anyway. To be honest it gives me a boost I.e. I drove up the road after two years of having my licence even though it shit the life out of me but that boost quickly wears off.
My question is, when anxiety affects your everyday life, what can you do to make it easier to overcome those fears? How do you break out of that shell? I am pretty much alone on this. My family don't understand what I'm going through and it sounds sad but I haven't got mates because my anxiety caused me to push everyone away.
