I have generalized anxiety and it seems to be getting worse. I used to be an extrovert and I would love talking to people. Now, I whole myself inside of my house (Sometimes not even leaving the bedroom for days). I did it for an entire week a few months ago...

It is getting so serious that whenever I make plans I cancel or I leave somewhere early. I don't want to take my klonopin anymore because of its addictive properties but I need help with my anxiety! Any solutions?

Have you considered therapy? It's very helpful for anxiety.
