Social Anxiety Support

oshene · 08-17-2009, 12:33 AM

Hi
i am suffering from social anxiety. my husband threatens to leave me, i live in fear everyday. i am unable to interact with my in-laws in a "proper" manner. i am going into depression. i feel nobody likes me and i am boring. i am barely able to make eye contact with anyone. my husband accuses me that i wont be a good mother if at all i become one. he doesnt want to give me time to cope with my stress.
he says there is no such thing like social anxiety. he wants me to function normally in a matter of mins. i feel very stressed. feel like a burden on everyone. don't feel like living.

Well if he thinks there isn't social anxiety, show him this site, and a few of the posts, it's very real.

I'm sorry your husband doesn't treat you right, he should at least be supportive of you in trying to get over this. In my time here I've met some cool people who have the same problem as me. I hope the same happens to you. It's nice to know you're not alone.

Hope to see you around the boards.

Welcome, Oshene!

Welcome oshene. I hope you find some support and understanding here. Your husband sounds as though he is harming your self-confidence. Do not believe the things he says or listen to any put downs, because they are untrue.
