I'm having a bad identity crisis. All my life people thought such kind things about me, that I was kind and dear and thoughtful and compassionate and gentle for a boy.

Since reaching my early 20s, I've become a disaster. I'm so anxious I often let down my loved ones by disappearing for long periods of time, being completely overwhelmed by life. I feel like I lost my heart since being broken up with, each day I'm just numb and irritable, and constantly trying to get out of every interaction as fast as possible without making a fool of myself, feeling the anxious thoughts heavy every minute.

I cried today looking in the mirror. Anxiety has ruined my life, I don't recognize myself anymore. I've become such a bad person or bad friend and it kills my heart
