Yes and I was one of them. For years I'd hidden my GAD and SAD (plus a little OCD) behind a bottle, too afraid to go and seek help. Now I'm getting on in years, live alone and have no social life at all. Recently I finally reached out for help. I'm working my way through it at present and it's not as scary as I thought it might be. Just one step at a time

Don't be afraid to seek help and don't shut yourself off from the world like I did in the past, only to realise too late in life that you've just missed it (life)

All the best Bugeaud. Make that positive move and help yourself to get better. It is possible and you CAN do it
Kind regards,
Rose.
