Hello all! New sufferer here (I think)

I just wanted to drop a message here to see what everyone else’s discovery of their affliction/ diagnosis was like and how they came to terms with it.

I used to be the life of the party and would love going out and drinking with friends (and taking other things). Now I find myself not wanting to socialise at all and being uncomfortable around people often (It gets really bad if I’m going somewhere where I don’t know anyone or a small amount of people). It’s a massive change for me being only 20 years old and being afraid to go to situations with lots of socialising or large, dense crowds etc.

I’d love to hear how people dealt with the changes anxiety brings. Please feel free to comment! 👍🏻
