Hi I'm new here
I'm suffering really bad with social anxiety. I can hardly leave the house without shaking, even going to the letterbox is an issue. I don't have any friends because I have trust issues from previous relationships. I can't work, I'm stuck at home most of the time with no one to talk to, I feel like I'm going crazy and I'm so scared it's not going to change. Any advice or can someone relate?
In response to: Depression and social anxiety
