I have social anxiety and I’ve been pushing myself to work through some of it lately. Typically I have some specific goal set aside such as meeting a potential roommate or attending some zoom thing. It’s about an hour max and I give myself rest/rewards by reading something fun or eating something reasonable after.

However even hours later I still feel no desire to actually do anything useful. I feel less aware or less able to think clearly about things. I want to be able to work through my anxiety without sacrificing so much of my productivity but I’m struggling to figure out what to do about it.

Does anybody else feel like this? Have you been able to find ways to reduce it? 

I’d appreciate any input you have :)
