Hello everyone,
I'm making this thread to see if anyone is willing to share their experiences with social anxiety for a new "Personal Stories of Change" section that we will be adding to Social Anxiety Support soon.
I understand that many people on the forums are still very much struggling with social anxiety, but I also know there are some people who have made significant positive changes in their lives and still enjoy being part of the SAS community.
These stories are not meant to be provided as medical advice or as a specific path one struggling with social anxiety should take, but rather for inspiration to take action and the hope for a better life.
We envision something similar to what the Social Anxiety Institute has on their website, but our goal is to represent the multitude of different paths people take to make positive changes in their lives. An example of one of their video stories can be seen here: http://www.socialanxietyinstitute.org/video-1.html
A rough version of the new section can be seen here, with some real content and some filler:
http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/stories/
Your story can be submitted in either written or video form, whichever you prefer. Also, we are glad to post your story under your first name, nickname, a fake name or anonymously.
If you're interested take a look at the story submission page here:
http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1
Let me know if you have any questions, either in this thread, by PM or by email.
Thanks,
Drew
