This hits way too close to home, so many times I'll go out and feel anxious the entire time despite being around old friends or family

Almost feels like I'm observing the event because my mind is in such a whirlwind that even though I'm participating in conversation, I'm somehow detached and almost uninvested because I can't actually enjoy the moment even though I desperately want to relax and feel good around the people I know and love.
