Isolation

Does anyone feel that our high anxiety makes us isolate ourselves from other?  I certainly do.  When I am really anxious I do not want to be around anyone.  As a result I really have no close girl friends.  My therapist told me one time to take a class in the evenings, something I was interested in and maybe I would make some friends that share similar interest.  Good suggestion, never followed through on that one.  But lately, I feel very alone and misunderstood.  I know it is up to me to change this but having a hard time "getting going."

Anyone else feel like this?

So true and you are right.  It is taking that first step sometimes that is so hard.  I really would like to do some volunteer work or take a class.   I just need to make that leap!  Meds were upped recently, because I was on a low dose and I am feeling better, just trying to adjust.

Thanks for posting!
