Social anxiety. Help!

Social anxiety, autism and social anorexia is all things I struggle with day in day out. Being away has made everything so much harder than normal. I wish I was working so I didn't have to battle the social anxiety and autism as much. This is to much but i cant escape, I can't talk, I can't do music practice. I am trapped in this body which keeps fighting but my brain is just wanting to rebelling against it all.
Please can someone sympathise with me or just reassure me I am will be ok please

I'm so sorry you're struggling with this right now. Just know you are not alone and can get through whatever you're going through. There have been many threads on this discussion board by people with social anxiety who have gotten through it and found ways to cope.
You do not have to do this alone so it's great to see that you reached out on here, but have you tried speaking to anyone else in your life, like a friend or your GP? Have you received any medical/professional help?
Let me know

I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling - it sounds like you're really struggling right now, but we're all here with you through this. I'm glad that you're able to come on here and discuss your troubles though - it's a good sign that you're accepting that things are tough and you need some help, and there's nothing wrong with that! Having disabilities like anxiety and autism can make our lives really hard sometimes, knowing that some things are simply out of our control, but we must do the best we can to adapt and try and live a happy and fulfilling life. Sometimes, things will get tough, but we have to process what's going on, get up back on our feet, and keep marching forward. I'd definitely look at meditation and mindfulness as ways to manage the stress you're experiencing. But of course, feel free to talk on here as well for an outlet.
You can do this - I believe you can pick yourself up and pull through. You're strong, kind and confident, and you need to use those to help yourself now, just like you've helped countless others here x
Much love
