Hello, my name is Michael and im 23 years old. I dont have alot of knowledge about mental health and recently looked into if there was a name for a phobia for being afraid of going #2 in public restrooms cause I cant for the life of me do that. What I ended up finding what social anxiety. After looking into it and really reflecting on how I feel and the choices ive made, ive come to the realization that I probably have SA, if not some other kind anxiety. Unfortunately I dont have any health insurance so theres no way for me to find out right now. I dropped out of high school due to me constantly skipping class cause I just couldnt stand being around all those people. I wouldnt even skip and do something fun, I would just walk the trail by the lake and sometimes go to the local library cause nobody was ever there (small town). I mean who skips class to go to a library? I feel excessively judged by every single person I make eye contact with, I stopped talking to all the friends I did have just cause feeling that constant pressure I feel when im around somebody was easier to avoid. I have a seriously disabled sibling who requires in home nursing, and felt like I couldnt even move around my own house without sneaking around just to avoid them. I quit the only job I ever had at walmart after 3 days because of the overwhelming judgment and pressure I felt.
I just took that Liebowitz test and got 45+46=91 which is severe social anxiety. Im still confused about all this, and im not even sure why im posting this :/ I feel like I cant even walk out the front door without worrying about somebody saying something to me or waving at me or something. I guess im just hoping somebody can sympathize with what im feeling.
