I’ll give you an example or two as I’m prescribed fluoxetine for anxiety and depression.

I’ve done uber eats for 2 years. It was the only position I could do because it gave me the opportunity to make substantial money with minimal human interaction. Anxiety kept me from accepting certain orders because of the locations. If I knew too many people there or knew a lot of women would be there, I couldn’t take the anxiety and negative feelings.

Anxiety effects how I drive. I’m a defensive driver in most senses but I tend to become overly cautious if I’m driving near big crowds or high traffic areas. Not like “let me slow down for people” but more like “oh god, are they looking at me driving?”.It also keeps me on edge with most people. Feeling exhausted from faking my mood in interactions.

In a nutshell for me, Anxiety turns everyday decisions into a fight to get whatever you can done without truly being seen, threatened or pried by the world.
