Severe anxiety
I don’t really know what to do about this anymore. I’m married, pregnant with my 3rd. I don’t work because it would be pointless with the cost of daycare but I’ve never actually had a job (other than when I was 16) due to my anxiety. I only worked at my first job for 4 months and I quit because they all hated me because I never talked and I couldn’t handle them being rude to me. I don’t drive, I have 0 friends. My husband works out of state so I often go with him and we stay in a hotel so we are together. It’s so bad that I won’t leave the hotel room if I’m not with my husband. If housekeeping is at the door, I can’t open it. I feel like I’ll have a panic attack if I do. I can’t do anything alone. I can’t even get my license because the thought of getting into a car with a stranger makes me start shaking.
Ive been to the doctor, I’ve tried countless medications. It just doesn’t work. Sometimes it’ll help me not have a panic attack, but I still can’t do anything. I’ve been to therapy multiple times. It does nothing for me. I don’t know what to do! I want to have a life. It’s easy to just say “take small steps” “just get out there, it’ll get better” I’ve done all that. My husband is a great support system and I’ve done small things alone like grocery shopping, getting gas, going into a store.. but it doesn’t do anything because I’m terrified the entire time.
My husband even makes all the phone calls because I can’t do that. I don’t know what else i can do since therapy and medicine doesn’t work 😩😩😩
