@Pink Fuzzy Bunny I also have a lot of anxiety surrounding social situations so it definitely makes it difficult to meet people. I have a really great group of people in my class, it's just so hard to form relationships with them when the way many of them choose to socialize is at bars/parties. I'm not opposed to going out, it's just sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with anxiety that I can't even leave my apartment. It's just crazy to me that I have already gone through a whole year and survived it, but now I'm having a breakdown about going back. I hope your move went ok and that things will get better for you soon. I know once school started for me last year it was hard to even think about anything else. That is what I really need. Just something to keep my mind off of all the things I'm missing out on at home and come Monday I will be back on a schedule and have a routine to help cope.
@St Andrews Lynx thank you so much for your advice. I really just need some reassurance that things will be ok. I really did enjoy the perks of moving to a place where no one knows anything about you. It felt like a fresh start and I could really be who I wanted to be. I definitely need to try more new things and I have thought about doing meet ups. I'm just a little nervous to go by myself, but it would definitely be a great way to meet people. Thank you again.
