Feeling like I can’t get ahead
I feel like my anxiety has completely turned my life upside down for the last decade. I used to have friends and want to go out. Now, I just want to be left alone. People terrify me. All I keep having is extremely bad experiences with them.
I don’t know how to even do positive talk when I don’t have a lot of examples of good people or supportive people in my life. I feel like my anxiety constantly gets dismissed or I’m told I can control it. I can’t. I feel like it’s now caused depression and now I’m scared that I’m slowly developing agoraphobia. How can I raise two smart, socialized little girls if I develop full blown agoraphobia. Now I feel like a failure as a mom.

You are not a failure...... you can do this ...... how do i know .......because you see the issue and recognize the problem.
It is easy when you have negative experiences with people or i find many just with no faith in people from reading bad things happening ..... it gives many anxiety and staying home or away becomes easier and easier ........... depression can be that way as well .... the reality i found is things never improved with me sitting at home looking out a window ...... i get that way sometimes and i force myself to go out and do things .......... no it is not easy ..... but you can take a step forward then another and soon you will look back and see how far you have gone without even noticing....
