My social anxiety never use to be this bad, I would avoid social situations yes but that was only for crowded social situations,and I had my own few friends and I didn’t like to make new friends and that was it I never minded talking to a stranger, but now I can’t even talk to a stranger, I guess when I got into a relationship with my SO I started using him as a crutch and he would take over with any situation that made me anxious and tbh I think that’s what’s made it worse,either that or it could be down to having a baby now there is someone coming tomorrow to fix our boiler, and my SO won’t be here and so far I have had a mental break down, I have S.H, I have been crying all evening at the very thought of a stranger coming here. someone I don’t know coming into my home. someone who I will have to speak to, I’m so stressed out about it and it’s this that’s made me realise how bad my social anxiety has gotten, I don’t want to go to a Dr or anything like that but I’m only asking on here to see if anyone has been in a similar situation and to find out what u did to fix it what helped?
