i’ve developed severe social anxiety out of nowhere. i’ve always been awkward and unsure in public, but this is a new and worrisome thing. i always feel like i’m breathing through a narrow straw, and there’s a constant weight on my shoulders and chest. the thought of going to class or the store or hanging out with friends outside of my close circle is enough to make me pass out.
i got put on citalipram, an anti-depressant that helps with social anxiety, but it seems like it’s only made it worse.
does anyone have any advice or anything that could make me feel better?

remember that you are
1. seperate (not made up of anyone else)
2. unique (everything about you is different and acceptable)
3. whole (nothing nor anyone is needed for you to be a whole person)
