I have/had the same problem as you, and I'm a couple of years older. I was terrified and alone and ashamed, because everyone else managed to do all these simple things and I couldn't. And my life wasn't that bad, loads of people had it worse, so I was probably just lazy and if I could just get over myself I'd be fine in no time.

I spent years thinking that. Even when, after a while, I considered going (back, in my case) to a therapist, I put it off because 'it wasn't that bad'.

I am in therapy now, have been for a few months. But I could have been there and getting help months or even years earlier if only I had admitted there was a problem. Because, you're right, the longer you wait, the bigger the problem gets.

You've already reached out, and that's great. And maybe you don't want or need therapy. I hope you don't completely dismiss it, but I understand if you want to try some other options first. Do you have any family or friends you're close to in RL? Someone you trust with what you told us? Someone who could help you? Then maybe tell them? They might not understand everything, but they can help you with some of the other stuff.

It's going to take a while to see results, but it will happen. Good luck
