Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

If the medication is not working then you need to be honest with your therapist, so that he/she can get you something that will help you. The best way to defeat fear is to face it, even if you are scared. In order to have friends you have to show yourself friendly. That is the only way you are going to defeat feeling alone. If you don't like what your family is saying then prove them wrong. You have to make some effort. If you don't how are you going to live as an adult? It is not that you can't do those things but unwilling because of a thought that is not true. You have to get out of your head. You defeat the thought with words. Even the little engine had to say I think I can, I think I can. Tell fear to get out of your life, that it is not welcome here. It will stay as long as you allow it to and it has already taken over your life. I don't know if you believe in Jesus but when you feel fear coming on you begin to say out loud, God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind or fear nor for God is with me. Fear is trying to rob you of all of the things God has promised you. God has a good plan for your life, your life has meaning and purpose. I declare you will overcome fear, it cannot stay in your life. Fear and rejection no longer will you torment Karinna, I command you by the authority of Jesus Christ to leave Karinna now and I command peace. Holy Spirit, fill Karinna now that she know that You are real and that You love her. Reveal Your plan for her life, open her eyes of understanding that she will know Your calling upon her life. Karinna, your future is bright.
Just because other people say ..., does NOT make it your problem. Your response will change their response when their usual response no longer fits. Their perspective of anxiety is different and based upon their experience with anxiety. So, first step is to change how you respond.
So what if it bothers you to talk. You can keep your responses to simple sentences, neutral and polite, and that will give you the ability to see that you are able to function with a base response that gives you smile, strength, and courage to keep going.
The important thing is to move forward. Take a step. Take a conversation. Repeat.
Best wishes.
