I’ve suffered from awful anxiety for the majority of my life, and I’ve withdrawn socially. I’m using Facebook in an attempt to check up on those people who made my life more enjoyable, and hopefully be able to call them and communicate more personally. It sucks waiting for a friend request to be accepted or even denied. My emotional state cycles to a state of hope to a state of resentment and tears. Life gets better? I sure hope so, but until I can talk to them, I feel such great regret and intense curiosity about the wellbeing of those people. Too bad medication can’t solve everything.

You’re right medications can’t solve anything, but the power of will does.
Don’t give up!
Yes. The power of the mind is startling. People have achieved amazing things with it, even completely eliminating severe anxiety. I’ve been there in the past. I know how it feels to wonder how people you care for are, but feel completely unable to talk to them. I hope you reconnect with some of those people and it reminds you of the better times you had with them. 🙂
Well, so far, I’ve been talking to one. She’s awesome, though, so I’d say that it’s worth it, even if she is the only one.
Good. It’s nice sometimes just to hear that someone’s doing okay.
