Anxiety

How has anxiety ruined your life? I have social anxiety and it really sucks. I never feel like I can relax my mind or my body because I'm so busy overthinking and second-guessing EVERY decision I make. I also hate how I can't fathom going somewhere like the grocery story or to a store by myself without giving myself a pep talk and silently talking myself through the ordeal. I also hate feeling alone, yet it scares me to talk to someone and it prevents me from making friends. I also developed insomnia because the overthinking has caused me to lose sleep over stuff that "normal" people wouldn't think twice about. Please feel free to share what you have to say. All are welcome.
