Unfortunately I tend often to retreat. Social anxiety isn't my Dx but I feel that many MH issues come with a degree of that. Folks have tried to help but the pull to back away from life is strong. I don't deal with much...I just ride the wave. Not a good thing.

I encourage everyone to not let things slide...find some coping mechanisms. Ask teachers, doctors, clergy, trusted friends, loved ones...they're all good to speak to. If nothing else they can point you in appropriate directions. I'd recommend PC but y'all have taken a step already!
