Sometimes I just don't want to do things and I hate it how it automatically gets blamed on my anxiety. It's not becAuse I'm always scared sown times I just want my own space. Sometimes even people with anxiety don't feel like going out. I should ask them if it's because they are scared. So fed up with being labeled!!
Apparently I'm makibg my family suffer becuase eu don't want the inlaws to come by tonight. We see them twice a week!!!! Give me some space people!!!
I agree you need your space and time for you.. If they don't like it oh well.. You do what you feel is right.. Good luck xx
Oh I am so sorry. Yes we need our own space. I am the opposite to you, I suffer from anxiety when I am alone!! I want to be with people. Difficult for both of us. Obviously this has been discussed within your family. Difficult for me to give a view, but I can see how irritating it is for you to have your illness blamed for wanting to be alone. I hope your family do appreciate that because of your anxiety you do not always want to go out and socialise.
how would you label yourself then?

so irritating when people blame your illness. Just stay true to yourself, you know the truth x
Yup I agree with you forsure, if you dont mind me asking what do you mean by scared. I get that too and have GAD, some people worry about money or bill but I get more of a panic thing going on.
I have panic dissorder. I also have a lot of health anxiety related to germs and viruses. I also have agraphobia. I really hope my anxiety is as treatable as the Internet says it is because It is ruining my life
