I’ve suffered from what I believe is Generalized Anxiety and or Social Anxiety for nearly 5 years now. It’s gotten better but there’s still hallmark symptoms that hold me back in life. In the first year with it I tried asking for help twice with my mom. She didn’t listen. This led to a fear of reaching out and I’ve gone silent for years but I feel I need to do something because I’m at a pivotal point in my life, I’m turning 20, I need to go to school figure my stuff out, you know? But there’s always the debilitating anxiety that holds me back. How, after years, and after trying, do I ask for help again? I have such a bug fear that I’ll be treated differently by everyone in my life. I am an adult now so the alternative is I go through a journey if diagnosis and recovery while remaining silent but that feels incredibly unhealthy and doesn’t lift this weight. I’m scared of reaching out. Any advice would be extremely helpful!
