well I have advice but I don't think you are going to want to hear it. it is what my t tells me. catastrophizing. I heard it the whole session on Monday. I have 5 diagnoses as well and while I agree they are all interconnected I have to disagree that they cant be addressed separately. you can address and reduce your social anxiety even if you remain depressed. so what if you relapse. relapses happen and can be expected. just because I am working on my anxiety and it is getting better doesn't mean I am not going to expect to be anxious again. I am agoraphobic as well. that has a lot to do with anxiety. and my ptsd. all we are working on is my dissociatve disorder. in working on that, my anxiety has been reducing on its own. if you work on your social anxiety, you may find you are less depressed because you are getting out more and doing more things. nobody can work on five things at once. a system cant handle it. it is too overwhelming. the mental health system sucks. you have to find a good therapist that specializes in what you have. you have to do a lot of reseach on your own. I have learned that the right meds are important as well. you have to be patient and work hard. and it will come. take care.
