Hi all, i'm new also.
I have had anxiety for all of my life.You name it, social/post traumatic/generalised anxiety disorder etc, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. These all conspire to make a difficult situation.
I haven't been able to work for 10 years, and not getting to speak to many people does not help my social anxiety one bit.
I got severly sick 10 years ago with CFS, but also with Anxiety, which came first is not so easy to know.I think CFS came first, when i was digging a trench in 42 degree heat, and pushed myself too hard.
In the first few years i would sleep about 1 hour total a week, and at the same time physically be sick,and have constant panic attacks.
I'm still about 60% the same as then, so have good and bad days.
I was lucky enough to find someone, who understood me, and we have been together for 4 years, and out of home together for one.
Unfortunately my situation is not helped by having to move form one house last time around, due to neighbours from hell. And now we are in a house that has barking dogs going day and night around us.
It gets to me so much, that i only feel comfortable when i am not home.
My partner does not cope with the situation well either.
It's been a bad experience for both of us being out of home.
And my nerves are just frazzled when this noise continues.We are trying to find somewhere else but it is not easy to find somewhere else.
We have been trying to find a rural property to rent, but that is even harder. Sometimes i want to give up, i just cry, because i can't get any peace and quiet.
We are expecting our first child soon, so time is running out to move.
This situation has only made me more phobic of people, especially my neighbours, as they think we are weird, because we do not come out of the house much, because of the situation. How can i be eager in saying hello, when they cause me so much anguish. I complained to one of them, and they just laughed. And i know they let it go on, to annoy me.
As i speak the dogs are going beserk as usual.
During the day, i do not know what to do.I just go and sit places for no particular reason ,trying to find something to do. I wish i had some friends .
Sorry to go on guys, i am probarly repeating myself as usual.
Hope everyone is okay out there.
