Is it anxiety or depression this i am working on but sometimes it hits so hard. I become sad and over think everything. I know this is hard for my partner because i feel he is one of the only person i can dump on and its straining.

I stuggle with going out by myself and question whether people actually want to be out with me. I dont know how ro form friendships. I have thos fear of doing or saying the wrong thing so i dont and if i relax i can just feel like i am being stupid. I dont really know if this makes sense but i have to get it out of my head. I need to understand why i am like this.

I have been on antidepressants for 6 months and they have helped though sometimes it gets to much normally if i say it to someone it takes away the power but then on the same level i dont want them to know to judge. I am seeing a physiologist.

Sorry this is very jumpled just dont know and never have tried to explain it to someone.
