So, my therapist is referring me to a psychiatrist who she'll work with to diagnose me, but currently she is leaning towards a social anxiety disorder with depression.

Firstly, I didn't realize SAD was an actual disorder so I hadn't considered it before.

But...I feel really crushed. I'm not trying to use SAD as an excuse or anything, but it feels like conscious brain knows what I should be doing as a communist, but my subconscious instinct over protects me and prevents me from actually being able to be social and organize and such. I just feel like such a useless sack of meat.

If anyone else here has suffered with this, could I ask for some advice, please?

Diagnoses aren't one and done. Look up the criteria and honestly reflect on it for days, weeks. Also check out diagnoses with overlapping symptoms.

Finally, your diagnosis will change as you do the self care and work to get better.
