I am RARELY in the presence of men and when im put into a situation where i have to interact with a man i feel like i completely lose all of my social skills. Of course ive had my share of awful experiences with men and i still have that fear but its almost like theyre aliens to me. Im not trying to be offensive in any shape or form i just dont know how else to describe it. I like to think i mask that feeling while interacting with them but its kinda draining and inefficient. Do i have to fix this by talking to more men similar to exposure therapy? I just feel so weirdly disconnected from them.

ive never really bothered with vitamins but i cant with the brittle nails, dead/thinning hair, bruising, low energy yadda yadda so im hoping yall have reccs!
side note: do yall ever feel validated by these symptoms? its a conflicting feeling 😞

ive tried a good handful of anxiety medications but they always end up making me drowsy and i was wondering if anyone has a similar problem and found something that worked for them or if theres any anxiety med worth trying!
