How can I overcome anxiety?

I have severe anxiety myself and the only way I overcome behaviors is by literally putting myself in uncomfortable situations. I have social anxiety and I go to raves, I’m a waitress etc. I have panick disorder but I still do things that may trigger those symptoms. Anxiety is something where you just need to kind of continue life even though stuff triggers you

wow it makes sense, i tried to try that but i didn't quite succeed

Just have to keep going. Can’t give up on yourself. Letting anxiety control your life is going to hold you back

You can always write down what you feel. You can talk to a relative. And you really should try to make some friends but first you should see who is worth your time or not. Personally music always helps me especially when I walk alone or feel sad. But you really shouldn't trust new people without you knowing them enough. You can talk with people about casual stuff like a class or homework.
You can also think how is your life going to be if you still get anxious. You miss out experiences you could have lived
I know how it feels like but sometimes you have to imagine another reality where everything is just like you thought it would.
And maybe then you will see it differently. I don't know if this helped but whatever.🙂
I hope you will get over it soon. A d try making eye contact with people even if you get shy cause I know it will help

Make new friends anon, even if they are online, it will help with the anxiety, you are anxious all the time cause all you can think about is your past, go outside more, even if it's just a walk to breath, being indoors for too long can effect your mental state so go outside and breath, even if it's just a small walk around the neighborhood

yes you are right, i have online friends but my mental state has become so bad that even my online friends have seen my mental state and i am ashamed of it🥲they saw my weakness, and yes yes i feel very anxious because i am always at home, I had to video chat with someone a while ago and I couldn't join. My whole body was red and I felt like I was going to pass out.

I recommend you get some fresh air then cause that doesn't sound healthy for your state of mind, try it and see if you feel better, if you do then make it a more common thing in your life to go outside more.

i tried that too but this city only reminds me of bad things so i usually stay at home

Maybe see a counselor to get mental clarity. That's what I did.

It takes time. A long time. The best thing is to continually expose yourself to uncomfortable situations. Because, it does get better.
