Just got out of a psychward and i think im experiencing social anxiety
So im being treated mainly for bpd since that was the biggest issue of all my diagnoses which lands me in a mental hospital every now and then. The interesting thing is ive actually never had this happen before, ive been hospitalized so many times in my life and was able to normally return to everyday life. (just for context - ive been there for 4 months this time, but its not much longer than any other hospital stay ive done before)
Now i feel such a paralyzing fear to go anywhere, im even anxious to go walk my dog. Its hard to explain but any thought of going anywhere creates this weird tension within me? I even have a lot of physical symptoms like fainting and throwing up when im in public and get overwhelmed. Is social anxiety what im experiencing? i cant thing of anything else it could be and neither can my psychiatrist.
It is true that my other disorders were getting worse lately and ive been recently given a disability status but this appearing out of nowhere is just so scary. idk whats going on. I also dont have a reason for it either, i dont have to work, i finished school etc so theres nothing that should be stressing me out socially. How the fuck do i get rid of this?
