I've spent years being treated for  depression and anxiety. ok i know im not alone. but one of the reasons is because i had NO IDEA where i was or what i was doing. i just figured it was the anxiety. no it was PHYSICAL, not MENTAL. it turns out i have horrible vision that has affected most of how i look at life. bright lights, eye contact, distractable, it's all a thing of the past. now i have contacts, and i KNOW whats wrong.

ive spent 90% of my life playing video games or watching tv. probably why i feel scared around people i think i'll be attacked or made fun of. but i have nowhere to hide at work so i just disappear into my mind. NOW I CANT DO THAT! what can i do when im nervous and theres nowhere to escape? like when im with people?
