New snd anxious

[Attina]

Hi
I am new here and have really bad anxiety. My anxiety is so bad that I hate socialising with people so I tend to spend most of my time indoors.

Hi Attina.

I'm so sorry you feel so bad. I can relate. I NEVER socialise and when I say never, it is literally never as I rarely leave the house these days. I work from home so that isn't an issue, but I dont go out socially and have no friends close to me either. Even before my mental health issues, I never really enjoyed social things anyway! I think anxiety does shut us off from a lot and we do need our own space and quietness, but I just wanted you to know you are not alone here.

This site is great and you will get lots of good advice, find people who experience the same as you and not feel quite so isolated.

Welcome! xxx
