Anxiety, Gay, Lonely

[lilE]

I feel the same exact way Rach, scared, lonely, like I am only getting older and older and things just seem more bleak and hopeless, like the walls are closing in on me.

" [...] I’ve had Panic Disorder and Anxiety Disorder since I was 20 years old and for the last 8 years or so I’ve had agoraphobia (although the agoraphobia has improved over the last year). I can now go out but I get more panicky the further away from home I get, so I don’t travel too far from home.
I’m unemployed because of my anxiety problems and I rarely go out to socialise anymore. And on top of all that, I’m gay. [...] "

I've had 'free floating anxiety' for years. I remember not wanting to leave the house as a child. Talking about it in therapy didn't always help unfortunately.  Over the years I've lost all my friends by not socialising. Meditation and relaxation helps a lot nowadays. 

Sorry I can't be of much further help, but I hope it all gets better.
