A few months ago I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and  Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I didn't know what to make of it. At the time it made sense to me because I was having panic attacks and intrusive thoughts.

I'm a quiet person. People always tell me I mumble and it takes a great deal of expert to speak clearly and loud enough for others to hear. I think I'm quiet because I always want to talk about sensitive things.

During lunch in school, I was always embarrassed to eat with my classmates. I was self-conscious. It didn't help I didn't really have any dining etiquette. 

Even in chatrooms on Discord, I am anxious. Besides getting overwhelmed by rules I never learned how to start a conversation in the general chat. 

I don't sleep well through the night and I often have bad dreams or nightmares.

It seems my anxiety makes me restless. I get bored easily. I feel like my lecture classes are too long. Sometimes I feel the day is too long.

 I don't do well with reading unless I already have background knowledge on it. I can't stand reading big chunky paragraphs. I need to read text in small Twitter message sizes to enjoy it. 

I think I focused too much on my depression side that I neglected caring for my anxieties.
