'More than just being shy or unsociable, social anxiety is something that has dictated my teenage and adult life'
The second – and most important – has been being open with those I am confident with. These very select people – my mum, dad, siblings and husband – have become absolutely invaluable.Explaining to them exactly how I feel, how certain situations such as changed plans, surprise visits or unexpected guests impact me and cause a panic. I’ve also been telling them what they can do to help.
If I do say so myself, I have done an impressive amount since making the decision to fight my social anxiety in April of this year. I have made huge changes on social media after I had been too accustomed to doomscrolling through depressing news articles and posts – I was getting panic attacks by simply imagining myself in situations that I was not involved in. I now only look at positive posts and stay off Twitter entirely.
I have added a solid routine to my day, making sure I take time for self care, exercise, a short walk in the morning, as well as embracing nature, listening to music and doing meditation.
