Social anxiety directly caused me to lose out on $12500 in scholarship money. All I had to do was send update letters every semester, but I couldn’t do it. The self-loathing is crushing.

I get it. I’m not the same situation, but I missed out on scholarship money because I was anxious and procrastinating and missed the deadline.

I learned that one helpful thing in this situation is to get a trusted friend or family to body double, whether virtually or in person. Maybe the two of you can each encourage each other to do something you’re dreading. If I’d recognized what was happening and reached out for help, i think I could have done it.
