So hard to spend time with others
So I want nothing more than to have people family and friends to hang out with. To do things with. But every time I talk to family friends or go out, someone always says something that triggers my anxiety. They start talking about drama, or their issues. And as much as I want to be there to help and support them. I am a mess right now. My nervous system is haywire, my emotions out of control, anxiety through the roof, and completely unhealed from trauma even going back to childhood. I hang out as I get depressed just working and coming home alone. This sucks.

I'm sorry you are struggling.
You want connection but you are overwhelmed and need time to process and heal and it's hard to manage other people's expectations and needs when you are going through this.
One day at a time 🩷
I get it. It's hard to decipher when you're ready for these interactions. But I feel like being honest with yourself and them is going to be helpful. First look inwards and see what things you need changed to be able to effectively go do things with others. Side note, communicate with those around you (probably not in group setting) your expectations or more so, your boundaries. If they care, they'll respect your boundaries. If not... Then you can't continue to meet up with those people and continue to feel the way you do about it.
I don’t really have any friends, I usually hang out with my mom or fiancé lol it’s hard to go do anything because my fiancé loves to relax at home after work (he works a lot) and my mom has a lot of leg pain. I really need some friends my age to hang out with 😅 but I’m in survival mode right now and everything is difficult for me and it’s hard to function. I hope things start improving for you soon, plz know your not alone
It’ll be great to have a friend here….trust me I don’t even feel happy today too
Sorry about your anxiety, it frustrating when there is none to share with. But you can start building relationships online, you can build new relationships online, but you need to do that with caution
