A diagnosis of anxiety is usually not an out but the beginning of the hard work of improvement. The generally accepted treatment for anxiety is therapy that will encourage you to put yourself into manageable but challenging situations where you can practice overcoming your fears, while finding and rooting out the mental fallacies that those fears are originating from.

No competent medical professional would've told you "You have anxiety, so go sit at home neglecting your social life." That's the OPPOSITE of what people with anxiety should be doing.
