At this point I’m not sure how talking can fix issues…
Like I literally feel anxious just going to a movie theater…
And like now the event is over… my “happiness” crashed again…
Like…
Do I have to constantly do fun things just to feel a tiny shred of happiness? I’m outta energy lol…
Idk if like… going on a trip to like… say, California, would even help… I feel like I’m just get that usual Excitement+Anxiety then once its over, everything crashes again…
You need to start doing these things often enough that the anxiety starts to subside. You are anxious because these experiences are new for you, but do them enough and they will become routine.
Remember how you felt before you went to the theater? You weren’t even sure you could do it. But you did, even if it felt weird during or after. That’s ok. That’s real progress. You did the thing even though you were afraid. Now you know you can do it, and it will likely feel less weird next time. Keep building progress slowly, and remember it’s ok to feel anxious.
Definitely not normal. I highly recommend a trip to a psychiatrist for evaluation. A good psych can help figure out the root causes of your issues, assist them with meds as needed, and refer you to a few appropriate psychologists to start reprogramming your noggin.
