For years I've experienced general anxiety and have always had issues with low self-esteem and confidence. I get really anxious in social situations and when I go out in public. It has now got to the point within the last year or two where I've become almost house bound. The anxiety leaves me worrying constantly and I've even had episodes of stomach/bowel issues. I seem to be very sensitive and get overwhelmed easily and have difficulty sleeping. I'm on sertraline but I don't feel it's helping.
