Very acute anxiety, severe depression

Question

Asked for Female, 56 Years

I have suffered from acute anxiety and depression literally all my life. I can well remember as a child, I was absolutely terrified of strangers. I am now 56 and still hate people, I can't even hold a job because of my anxiety around humans. At this point, my anxiety is so bad, I can't do any chores around the house (and it is FILTHY) because of feeling so overwhelmed, and can't even leave the house unless I need cat food -and even for my cats, it is a real trial to go out.

You do need to see a psychiatrist and get yourself a diagnosis first. A therapist may be willing to come to your house and treat you for anxiety and depression. Yet humans need other relationships to grow personally and professionally. By staying away from society, you might have developed certain beliefs and coping mechanism which could stop you from mixing up the people.
