All my life I’ve had extreme anxiety to the point where I would skip school, isolate myself all summer and after school, and avoid talking to anyone. After minor social interaction, it feels like my brain and chest are on fire. I have anxiety about a lot of things and sometimes I get panic attacks for no reason. For so long I’ve avoided getting help because I was afraid of what medication would make me feel like and I didn’t want to talk to anyone about it. I’m just so tired of feeling this way. My anxiety has gotten in the way of making friends, developing social skills, and enjoying life. What steps do you think I should follow and does it get better?
