I have had general and social anxiety for many,many,years. If anything it has got worse not better over time.

Over the the last couple of years i have become increasingly avoidant. I see potential mishaps in even things that logically shouldn't be dangerous. So many things seem threatening - a potential source of embarrassment or getting punished for doing something wrong.

The medication i am on, although useful in some ways, doesn't really ease this. It ishard to know where the anxiety ends and the paranoia begins.
