I have been thinking every time I head out to meet people and and a conversation starts I have hardly anything to say to them. I feel dull even doe I know I am far from it. It starts to put me down its either a tv show they are all watching or talking about someone they know. My anxiety and my MD hold me back socially. My world is surrounded by what to dream about next and its making me think will my life ever get moving again it seems like it has stopped the last few year and I don't know how to get back on track.

I understand. It's hard being out with people and instead of being present, you're daydreaming or 'zoning out'. It scares me too that I'm wasting my life daydreaming, but that I feel the happiest and most calm when I'm daydreaming. I don't know if you have the same experience with MD? but I thought I'd offer my two cents  |

I know that feeling well. At it's peak I could MD for days at a time, it took it's toll. I've been able to get myself down though, I guess it used to be what I'd call 'severe' and now I think I'm a fairly stable 'mild' or 'moderate'. It swings between being more and less severe. I've had to push myself to get there, and it did take a few years, but once you bust out of it a bit and put a directed effort into being more social it's surprising how quickly things start to happen. Just by forcing myself to visit a couple friends a week a bunch of opportunities have opened up because they introduce you to new people, invite you places, help you get stuff done, whatever. It's a tough habit to get into when you're socially inept and anxious but starting small if fine, you don't have to be the life of the party, just start with a few texts.
