I don't have any friends anymore.

@anpawww hi there! I pretty much can relate to how you're feeling. It's almost to my disbelief that someone else puts it into words. I understand what you mean. I'm so happy to hear that your friends are supportive. They must've understood you a lot! If that's it, then I'm sure they will understand your current situation and will remain as your friends. It's okay to take a break. It's okay to pull yourself from the crowd for quite some time. It's okay. You'll be fine. Take a deep breath, you'll be okay.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Yes I'm going through a hard time lately. My anxiety is most of the time through the roof. I think I have to figure this out on my own, with my therapist of course. I've explained my friends the way I feel and they're completely okay with that and will always be there for me, but of course my anxiety is telling me otherwise.

Again, thank you so much. and please excuse my typos and mistakes in the previous post, I was in rush typing it and I was panicking a lot.

I am sorry this has happened

@anpawww Hi Darling, This might not be the greatest help but, I thought I'd tell you it anyway. I started developing social anxiety when I was in 8th grade. Developing it during my teenage years was obviously quite difficult for me (I imagine everyone having a hard time with anxiety, but I am only able to speak for myself) and I quickly isolated myself from all of my social circles. My friend was a bit worried for me, but stopped asking me about it after a short amount of time just to let me be me --I don't remember when exactly, since I didn't pay much attention to them at the time. I started therapy during the end of my first year in Gymnasium so a few years later. As you might imagine I had little to no friends at the time. I had one to be exact. After I started therapy I realised how lonely I felt, slowing getting better, because I'd let go of a bit of my anxiety. Basically my anxiety had shadowed the loneliness I was feeling and I swore I'd never isolate myself despite me going through a rough patch. It's not a perfect plan and I definitely have slipped up once or twice. The moral of the story is basically to, please, don't isolate yourself. I reallt does help to reach out to someone whether it's a friend, a parent or a a professional. If you want to I'd be honered to listen to you and support you to the best of my abilities too. I can also refer you to other listeners, if you wish to speak with someone here. I wish you all the best darling! -mwah-
