Social Anxiety Support

Funnily enough I found only two threads on this, from 2 and 3 years ago.

I'm making slight progress in my SA right now, but I am losing motivation. I'm losing patience and I see a slight depression coming on.
I'm trying to think positive, and I need a form of motivation to keep me going.

I have my desires, to be a certain way. I want to rid myself of the fear and loneliness. But I am having trouble pushing myself along. What do you do to kick yourself along?

long time ago, aprox 9 years ago i lived abroad for few month with my parents, thats when my SA nearly perished, and i want that time back, i want to be that person that i was there for few month, if i didnt know that i can be different person i would already die, thats the only motivation that keep me struggling the memories when i was nearly free of SA.

I want to make my family proud, my parents are good to me and helped me a lot and i want to return the favour. I look up to my big brother a lot and want to be like him, he's always been a massive inspiration. Another thing i guess which may sound funny but i'm beginning to use for motivation is my dream car. It's not a ferrari but a mitsibushi EVO and i guess that's my goal to be able to own one cause i'm car crazy and it wont be hard to get IF i put the effort in.

Back in primary school i struggled like hell and all the teachers said i'd need learning support throughout secondary school but some how almost over night i started doing well. I went from being the bottom of the class too one of the top and that has inspired me a lot. I remember saying when i was younger i just want to be able to read properly and my wish was granted. If that happened anything can and hell maybe even i'll get rid of this SA and not feel so uncomfortable.

The key thing is to be positive. Even if there isn't anything to be positive try your best to be. When your feeling a small bit down your body wants to just keep being upset and will want to do things to make it worse but thing is to turn it around. I haven't been able to yet but i'm going to try and if i manage that i can do anything and so can you

My motivating thoughts are my future and my family.

i think what motivates me, is the suspicion that i'm tougher than i feel and that i've got more potential than i've allowed myself to believe, and the curiosity to find out if there's any truth to those things
