Not just this thread, but a lot of the feelings you and I have talked about on this forum seem very much alike...
I do think that it is my anxiety that keeps me literally hiding from the world and in such pain. I feel that I find myself "depressed" because of my anxiety surrounding social situations–failling to meet others expectation, not being good enough, etc.
I issolate myself to try to avoid the anxiety, which only leads to self-disgust and mental torture, OCD and Depression, ana and the feeling that I am failing at life, that I am falling apart... I do think that it is my anxiety that keeps me locked in the cycle. I feel that if I could only break through that wall, "life" would become much easier.
forever here for you girl!
