I've been suffering a lot of anxiety and ptsd symptoms since our fire 6 months ago. I don't have any close friends but talk to some people on social media. I'm very open about it. The question I hate is, "How are you doing??" I know they're wanting to hear fine, but I actually tell them. "I've had a lot of anxiety lately and have felt pretty down," or something or other I'll answer them with. And it bugs me that I usually don't get a response back when a kind word would be appreciated, and I know I would give someone a kind word and encouragement if I were given the same response. It's just like they disappear. They don't want to deal with that. If I had told them I was just great, the conversation would probably continue.
