I'm 20 and for as long as i can remember i have had a mentally crippling anxiety problem. It has effected me getting a job, going to college, and overall just getting some consistent progression in life. Now I'm in school and going to a local college (online) lol. I'm still quite proud of myself though. Even though I'm still kind of freaking out over what path i want to take. The problem is even though i have made major improvements i still can't feel comfortable in my own skin. After my parents divorce when i was around 14, everything sort of went down hill. I couldn't take going to school anymore so i started getting homeschooled. Over that time i lost out on a lot and i didn't have any friends as i lost all of them after switching. Over that time my anxiety got worse being so isolated. Now I'm dealing with the after effects of all of it. Every step forward is a major struggle and the stress just builds up. Its hard for me to want to make new relationships with people, as I'm afraid i may be overwhelming and in my head i never feel like I'm good enough for people. I don't have money or a job and i feel that's a major contributer to my anxiety and insecurities, but as you know that's not very easy for people like us i guess. Also I recently got out of a relationship that ended very poorly, and since she was all i had it has absolutely ruined me. It's still not going great in that department, and right when i thought i was over it, it came back to bite me.  I'm just sharing all this because i want to connect to someone going through a similar situation or issue. I want to hear your stories and know I'm not alone in this. I'm more than glad to share more and if u want to have a conversation my DM is open. Thanks guys!
