I realised today that I don’t go anywhere without my support staff and having someone with me eases my social anxiety. But this whole month I haven’t got any staff on one to one with me because the hours are being saved for my holiday. So I went food shopping today on my own and I’m very anxious for some reason. I always have somebody on one to one with me for 3 hours a day. Makes me think I’ve become too dependent on staff and I wouldn’t cope on my own,

As long as your anxiety is manageable you can still do it.
I get anxious frequently but try to manage without benzos.
Maybe it would be good to try to go alone more often? Get nore used to it over time?
I have been having pretty bad social anxiety too for a couple years now. Not so much going out to the shops or anything. But about being social with people. Gotta get out there with people more again.
Good luck bro.
