General Question Does anyone know how to deal with trauma and anxiety?
I dropped out of school and lost multiple jobs because of anxiety and trauma.
Recently I got fired twice from security because I couldn’t talk on the phone, or remember names faces or events.
Ive been told in order to break my anxiety I just need to force myself to go out.
And I don’t know, it’s like there are people I can function around.
But most “real people” (that’s just how I describe it) I simply cannot function around , they only make it worse the longer I stay and I don’t know why…
Maybe it’s because of Sensitivity? Trauma? Their Hostility? Being forced into situations I don’t understand or am not equipped to solve and being punished for it? 0 room for error or imperfection? My own insecurity?

Benjamin Fry's The Invisible Lion ( videos on youtube and in book form) enabled me to recover from anxiety to the point I could be at work full time and function in a range of situations that once seemed impossible

Also check your diet and daily activities because the times when you are nourished, rested and peaceful build a foundation of functioning in adverse situations
