What does your daily life look like with debilitating anxiety?

Hello!

As someone with very severe anxiety that basically makes it very difficult to go about my day to day life, I was wondering if anyone would be comfortable sharing if they have similar experiences. For instance, I can’t really hold down a full-time in-office job because the social setting causes me unbearable anxiety. I also struggle with ARFID so I have dietary issues. My friendships and relationships with family are constantly tense and I am mostly isolated because I lose any energy to socialize when I am anxious (which is pretty much all the time).

I thought we could all help each other out and share advice for each other’s struggles if we have anything that has helped us in the past. For instance, something that has helped me is realizing that I need to schedule “home time” by myself for every 3-4 hours I am out. Spending too long outside my safe spaces is a massive trigger for me. Feel free to share things that work for you!
