Social anxiety and social avoidance


4 years ago 0 11226 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0

Hello,

When you are feeling anxious and depressed many people just want to hide from it all. Some people will even totally avoid people those they love and care for because they just don`t have the energy to fake being "normal" or they don`t want to keep being a "downer" to other people. Other symptoms of depression and anxiety like low mood, irritability, anger, lack of sleep, lack of concentration can also cause you to have problems in your personal relationships and make it harder to be like yourself.

Do you find that you tend to socially isolate when feeling depressed and/or anxious? What problems have your anxiety or depression caused you in your relationships?

You are not in this alone,

Ashley
