Hello!
I'm new to Anxiety Space, and I just had a couple questions referring to my social anxiety.
Does anyone else have an excruciatingly hard time telling other people about your problems? I'm sure some of you do... but how do you get past it? I've been hospitalized, I've been in outpatient therapies, I've gone to regular therapy.. and I can't seem to tell people when I'm depressed or anxious. I can barely tell my boyfriend, but if I'm in group therapy, I just sit there in silence and wait until the time runs out. I never am able to speak.. and I fear it's hindering my chances of making progress...
I'm also never able to express how I'm feeling to my parents.. It's hard to lie to them all the time, and I can't stand the anxiety that arises when they ask me how I'm doing.
If anyone is having similar problems, I'd really appreciate the feedback.
Thank you!
Alex
