Social Anxiety Support

Beryl · 06-25-2012, 05:47 PM

I have anxiety about every single thing, im always jumpy and even still scared of the dark sometimes and im in my 20s. I have been making progress for the past year or so after I hit rock bottom with my anxiety and depression. But I still have so many anxiety problems, exposure is working but I just feel like their is no light at the end of that tunnel and I will never be normal.

Sounds like generalized anxiety. Making progress can be maddeningly slow, I know how frustrating that can be. I try to focus on the small achievements I have made, becuase there was a time I had nothing positive to hold on to.

Generalized anxiety sounds like a likely candidate to me too.

I know how frustrating it is to work so hard for so little result.

I hope you can keep at it, perhaps you'll end up making better progress than you know. It's a good sign that you realize you already are making progress, so you do have some perspective on the situation.
