hi, I really struggle with anxiety to the point where it's paralyzing. I also feel traumatized by the abuse I've experienced in my life. Now, I try to avoid people because I associate people with pain. I try to be avoid going shopping at busy times because I get easily aggitated by all the noise, and loud music, and crowds of people.
@Hartwell
Indeed is a hard situation. Anxiety + trauma can be challenging.
Well if it's ok to ask have you gone through the process of acceptance? I can't speak for everybody but to me it helped.
Basically you try to accept what happened in your past. You do a self reflection in a honest way and tell yourself you were a victim, there was nothing you could have done and so on. Sometimes is hard to accept and move on however can be a good first step to recover.
@Booklover95
hi, sorry for the delayed reply, I havent gone through an acceptance stage, but I think what youre saying makes sense. And I appreciate your understanding.
@Hartwell
No worries :)
I hope you find some peace soon , you deserve to be happy.
@Booklover95
thanks, Im glad I found this community
@Hartwell Welcome! Anxiety can definitely be overwhelming and often isolated. I hope you find people here you can connect with. Remember that you are not alone. 
@Kate
thanks Kate, youre right, it can feel isolating at times.
@Hartwell - I'd also like to extend a warm welcome to 7 Cups and just say that you are absolutely not alone. <3
I know that it can be hard to deal with anxiety, and at times it can be even harder to reach out. I'm proud of you for doing that and joining our community. :)
