I (M26) have really intense general and social anxiety. I’ve recently had a bit of a quarter life crisis where I’ve realized I’m not the person I want to be, and that I’ve let my anxiety prevent me from living a fulfilling life. I’ve struggled with alcoholism due to how I feel, and while I’m on the road to recovery, I just feel like I’m hopeless. I have an incredible support network but I just don’t take opportunities or grow.
My anxiety has held me back from so much, and I want to take my life in my own hands, as I’m just existing at the moment and it feels awful.

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, or any advice/strategies that could help with putting myself out there and challenging myself.
