Instead of being present and able to enjoy your work, hobbies, and relationships, you may be at the mercy of strong, painful emotions that keep you constantly on edge. This has probably caused you to withdraw or not engage in the activities that might otherwise offer you sense of peace and comfort, even though you are desperate for sense of connection. There is combination of fear, anxiety, and dread keeping you stuck, yet you may have hard time locating its source. Rather than viewing daily struggles and symptoms as indicative of something deeper, you may have convinced yourself that they are surface-level issues that can be repaired with quick fix.
