Things lost..?

[SongsofInnocence]

Have you had something (friends, education, job etc.?) and then lost/given up on it later due to Social Anxiety or other related problems?

Personally, I quit high school for a while (I'm back at university now) and some of my friendships and past-time activities and became house-bound practically for 1½ years due to Social Anxiety and other problems in my life...it bugs me because I feel guilty because even though there were reasons behind my choices, I still made them...I should not have given up so easily as I did on everything, but fought through...I feel guilty and this bugs me, because now I can't get back what I lost..or I'm trying to!

I went to a further education college for two years after school to do art. I totally lost heart in everything and i sort of just went to college and sat on my arse all day not trying and not giving a damn. It was a very depressing time for me.

I worked in a factory for 3 months and i had to do night shifts. I couldn't handle having to sleep in the day. It made me really depressed especially as i was treated like shit there by a lot of people, and i couldn't handle the tedious nature of the job (packing boxes from 6pm untill 6am with a half hour break)....I still feel guilty about quitting to this very day. I feel like a loser for it.
