Maybe: Your safety is always first. However, it is important to stay active. Having a job is always good. Develop a routine (this will help you relax, to focus, to create consistency and give you a better chance to suceed). Focus on what you want: tell yourself what you want , not what to avoid. Plan for the present moment one step at a time. You can do it. We can help with your social anxiety.

Depends: Hello, Thank you for your question. It is very common for people with anxiety disorders to engage in safety behaviors such as avoidance. However, while avoiding anxiety triggers may help in a short term it usually contributes to more severe symptoms. It would be helpful to seek professional consultation and discuss pros and cons of accepting this position and possible strategies to use in the bus.
