I have social anxiety, so a couple years ago I used to go to the gym with a friend, she broke her foot and couldn’t go, and my anxiety was so strong that I refused to go alone and it cost my parents a lot of money (they paid for a whole year and I only went like 10 times).
They told me they would never pay for something like that unless I could prove to them that I would actually go.
And I tried going for walks, power walks, jogging, training at home. I hated it (used to love running when I was more healthy), nothing worked and I just gave up about it.
I live in Sweden so rules when it came to COVID was pretty lose? We didn’t have to wear masks, just social distance and up till 50 people socially.
After fall break, the COVID cases and deaths raised and rules got more strict. Up till 10 people socially, and avoid things like: stores, malls, gyms and other things.
Before this, I started going to the gym again with my mom and sister, and I loved it, I wanted to go often and I felt like I knew what I was doing. And I proved to my parents I could do this, so they paid for everything. It felt amazing and my mental health was getting better, but now? I can’t go to the gym and it’s breaking me. I eat more again (ED) and I don’t have job so all I do is being at home, in my room.
I start feeling worse again, and I don’t know what to do. Walks doesn’t work and I can’t train at home. Is there anyway I can persuade my parents to let me go or drive me to the gym? (Don’t have driver’s license yet) I don’t meet other people, home all the time and I feel like I’m going insane.
Or am I being unreasonable and selfish?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. (And sorry for my English)
