I’ve been suffering from anxiety disorder and depression 2 years now and in those 2 years my social skills have dropped tragically and i have zero confidence when it comes to asking a lady out on a date or anything like that.
Im seeing a therapist a couple of times a week and im improving little by little but still a long way to go
was just wondering if anyone else here who suffers from depression or anxiety disorder could tell me do they have the same problems ?
Was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder a few years ago. Had to be pulled out of high school because of panic attacks. The drama, rejection, and social aspect of everything brought me to a very suicidal state and even to the state of wanting to harm everyone around me.
I got really bad and left my house very rarely. Year and a half of therapy and family support later I actually starting dating a girl. Then she cheated on me with some jock loser. Which reveres all the progress I made
I have the panic attacks back under control and am able to go out for a small amount of time and be okay, but as far as friends, family and relationships, I have had little improvement.
It is made so much worse when no one cares, believes you or even realizes you’re alive. I don’t consider myself loved by anyone and am sure that will continue for some time.
I don’t have much advice, but you’re not alone. In a society that so harshly outcasts those who are different, shy, etc, we have to at least try and be there for each other.
Sorta just waiting for my guardian angel to come along and pick me up off the floor..
