So glad you are hanging in there. I suffered from sever depression, social anxiety and avoidant personaity disorder all thorough high school and college. Even after getting good grades, and toughing it out and struggling as much as I could, I dropped out 13 years ago. Never worked or had friends since. I didn't even know what I had until 6 years ago. Too bad I wasn't born 10 years later. Didn't have the internet when I was in HS or college. That is how I found out about social anxiety, by accidentally stumbling upon it on the web. THe professors and deans at my college wre extremely harsh and cold. It was obvious I was suffering from depression....you should see my face. unremitting tension.
Hope you hang in there. I was supposed to be doctor. Imagine that. So much disappointment from my parents. I think I caused my dad's cancer in a way.
Take one thing at a time is the only thing I can think of. Literally one thing.
