...See more Hello everyone and thanks in advance for reading me, I'm a 21 year old girl who never away from parents' house. Next week I'm going to work in France and I'm having anticipatory anxiety because I think I'm a person who has developed social anxiety. I've been like this for one month moreless now. I am currently under medication treatment. But it is just a superficial solution, the problem has not been solved. I am being waited for there by colleagues and more people, but I am completely terrified... My family no longer knows what to do with me and neither do I (for example, now I feel pretty bad because I've seen a story on i/g of some of the girls that are going to live with me going out for a drink and I've been filled with anxiety). I don't see myself capable of doing it but at the same time I'm afraid of feeling rejected because of weird or shy personality, having anxiety or a panic attack in front of them.. So, basically, it is all completely about the social part. I think I have a trauma after having lived a great loneliness during the university not making friends. This changed when in my third year I got a boyfriend, I felt very accompanied, fearless and unstoppable and that's when I decided to take advantage of this opportunity. However, we have broken up and now I see myself again very alone and with the same social anxiety as in 2019. In my house I am so depressed that I don't even want to get out of bed and I haven't even arrived to France yet. Any advice you can give me? Do you think all this is a good idea? I know that no one forces me to stay and I can go home whenever I want, but that may not be the best idea because then I will feel like I have failed and I will find myself even more alone. I am attentive to your answers. Thank you very much <3
