I have been trying to get myself out into the community, do things I enjoy, and keep myself busy for a long time. I have failed miserably. I have been trying to get myself to go to an art class that I really want to go to and have been to before. It has been 3 weeks, and every week I haven't been able to get myself to go. one week, I was worried about my heart. and that what if something bad happened while I was there. This week I drove all the way there and turned around because I forgot to check something at my house, that I already checked, that doesn't need to be checked in the first place. But it bothered me so much and I kept thinking about my death if I didn't check it, so I went back home. I don't want to walk in late so I ended up not going back.

I am on medication, I am in therapy, but I think I should print this out and show it to my therapist. I feel like I am in hell. I just wish I had a busy fulfilling life but I'm being held back.

to top things off, I am dating someone who has a completely normal life and I feel uncomfortable telling him these things and also compare myself to him. It sucks.

advice, support appreciated.

Call your Dr. and see if they can adjust your meds. My Dr. did, and I feel pretty much normal. I still have a little anxiety when I get stressed, but no panic attacks.

Hang in there! If I come home on Friday then don't go out all weekend, Mondays are hard for me to leave. Work on it little by little. You'll get there!
