The stigma surrounding mental health issues can be discouraging to seek help. I think suffers can help themselves too. If the society isn't helping, you help yourself. I'm happy you defended yourself well and stood your grounds. But if you really mean business in online freelancing, you have to work on your healing. I used to have social anxiety as well. Thank God all that is in the past now. I hope you find the courage to seek help because you are a great creator and I believe your anxiety will hold you back.
