Ok so it all started during spring break when I was depressed and was self harming on my arms and legs (the scars on my arms is barely seen but on my legs I've done recently) at school, I was failing and trying to raise my grades up but it was too stressful and that's when I developed insomnia, stress, and anxiety. I used to be social and happy but ever since my depression, anxiety, and stress, I stopped talking with people and wanting to go out (even though I never got to go out during my childhood because of my overprotective parents) I even stopped wanting friends to come over (they come over as a surprise to make me come out more even when I complain about going back inside) and I would get anxiety attacks when I'm involved in a social situation (I try to keep it in around friends), have to go out in public, (self-conscious and low self esteem) around a huge crowd, (major trigger) and when one of my phobias hit (also major trigger and I have 8 phobias) I also don't like being near people or talking with people and when I try explaining it to my parents, they think it's a joke and try to get me out the house now but,thanks to them not letting me out in the first place, I refuse to go out. On some days, when I think about it too much, I get kind of sick and sometimes lovesick since I get lonely and my parents don't seem to care about my anxiety.

It sounds like you are experiencing a difficult time right now.

However, there are some calming strategies you can try at home. Try some deep breathing, reading to occupy your mind, watching movies, writing, drawing, and/or coloring.
