    Hi dreaming,

    I’m 31 and I can honestly say I’ve never had the guts to live alone. So major kudos to you!! That was a very brave thing to do and I hope that you recognize that. I also have issues with anxiety and I’m currently seeing a psychologist about different tools to use when I get intrusive thoughts that I can’t control. It has been helping but I know that I have a lot of work to do. I’m finding that I’m in a rut with my life….all I seem to do is sleep, eat, work, hang out with my bf and his kids and watch TV in my spare time. I found that I’m needing to find a new hobby that holds my interest. I’m hoping that will help my current situation.

    One thing stuck out in your post…you also work from home. I worked from home for a couple years and although its a huge money saver I also found myself trapped. I needed the social interaction throughout the day to stay motivated. After a hard day at work you should look forward to go home and relax. It should be a sanctuary of sorts. But since you work there all day and then get off work and you’re still there….there’s not much to look forward to. I’m not sure if you have an option to work from the office but maybe that’s an idea.

    Also, you are NOT going crazy. Just remember that anxiety is irrational thoughts that aren’t real. Stay strong and positive.
