Serious topic. I’ve been dealing with anxiety since I was a kid, I’m now 17 and recently it’s been SO bad. So bad to the point where I get anxious standing in front of my kitchen window because I feel like people living on the other side can see me. I CANT FREAKING TAKE IT ANYMORE. It’s fucking exhausting. I cant concentrate in class because I’m battling anxiety on the inside…I feel like my classmates are judging me, I feel like they’re looking at my work from behind…and I can’t even communicate how I feel to people because I get anxious midway through talking. It’s excruciating!!! People are always telling me to go outside more bc that’ll cure my anxiety and train my amygdala to get used to my fears, but it’s the complete opposite. The more I go outside the more scarred I get. Idek what to do anymore. I’m seriously on the verge of just casually slitting my wrists because this is tiring. Like im about to graduate high school in a year and if i can’t talk to people then I clearly have no fucking future. I have all these stupid unrealistic dreams that are clearly not gonna happen, especially since I can’t grab a fucking cup from the kitchen without getting anxious. 

Has anyone else dealt with anxiety like this? How do you navigate your way through life and find success with such a burdening mental health condition? :(
