How do you respond to your friends after being isolated because of anxiety?

2021-04-09 11:02 am
I haven't talk to my friends since December due to anxiety attack. I didn't respond at all nor open the group chat. They didn't know I had anxiety..that it's torturing me.
I recently got help but still fighting this anxiety.
It's not as big as it was before. There are time that it just happens. 
There are times I'm still relieved. 
I'm trying to find the best way and the most understandable response to them.

You simply apologise, saying that you have been in a bad place, or had a bit of a breakdown. Now that you are feeling a little better you can reach out more, can't you? We all go through such periods, which is time spent focussing on our own feelings, finding it hard to consider other people. Ask your friends and family how they have been over this very difficult period: what can you do to be a friend to them? You have been shutting them out to protect your own feelings, but realise that you have been a bit selfish or whatever..... Very many people have suffered rather during this past year, but we are all coming out of it - hopefully the stronger. At least you can understand better how some other people with mental type issues feel. 

Find some sort of voluntary work to do if you can. It will benefit your community (or the wider one), you’ll meet wonderful people and it will help with your sense of your own value. 

God Bless!

If they are truly good friends, they will understand and be supportive, if you confide in them. You say you "got help" and that it has reduced some of your anxiety? Have you been in therapy? Have you received medication? Both are useful and helpful, for treating anxiety disorders. Good luck and good wishes,

"I'm sorry I've been away but I've been dealing with a difficult personal issue and I didn't know how to tell you about it." Then if you want you can explain what has been going on and explain what anxiety disorder is. They probably have had their own mental health issues in their lives, too.

You should tell them the truth. I have been rejected by plenty of people for anxiety and depression and many other people and have learned to live with the fact that not all people are there during the good and the bad. And if people can't be there all the time, they are not good friends.
