  1. Mental Health and Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
    I'm sorry, this is a long post, I know you may be reluctant to read this because it's so goddamn long, but it would be well appreciated if I receive sympathy and advice. I'm 18 years of age but I still live in a kid's home. I've been living there since I was aged 12 years, unfortunately much...
  2. Triumphs Over Social Anxiety
    Having suffered from SA over many years, I wanted to share some of my experiences and how I overcame some of the bigger setbacks. Years ago I wouldn't even be able to make a video like this, but now I oddly feel comfortable as a regular tool of self expression
  3. Medication
    I have been following the development of this nasal spray against social anxiety. It seems it has not yet failed to meet the endpoints. It sounds interesting.
  4. Coping With Social Anxiety
    Ever since I was in middle school, my social anxiety has caused me to shutdown around everyone and everywhere. I am at a loss of what to do, I'm scared that I'm getting to old to overcome this. I'm currently in college and feel like I'm missing out on a lot because of this. any advice would be...
  5. Family and Friends
    Hi all, I hope you are fine. I am writing this topic because I am going through a difficult period in my life and I am looking for advice and support. I recently got divorced using an online divorce service as my social anxiety makes it hard for me to be in a courtroom full of people. The...
  6. Coping With Social Anxiety
    Hi everyone! Just curious, what do you currently do for a living? What are some jobs you've had that you loved versus couldn't stand? Just in general, what jobs seem to suit those with social anxiety?
  7. United States Groups
    Hi All, How is everyone? I am new to this forum. I came across this on google as I was researching about anxiety and careers. I am wondering if anyone else has similar struggles as I have when it comes to working and anxiety. I am still trying to figure out what it is that I want to do career...
  8. Introductions and Welcomes
    Hi all - For a while I have been trying to decide whether I have social anxiety or merely social reluctance. It affects me but I wouldn't say I particularly need or want any help with it - but perhaps I'm deluding myself there! I wrote an article trying to work it out and also discussed the...
  9. Psychotherapy
    Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some advice. Have you ever felt like your therapist misjudged you, or weren't really trying to understand you? Like they were too set on an idea or conclusion? Today my therapist asked me to consider whether I might have an autism spectrum disorder instead of...
  10. Coping With Social Anxiety
    Hi everyone Im a 2nd year uni student and I’ve just applied for a job at an agency. They do all sorts of work like cleaning and bar work. Obviously I’m feeling very anxious about it and was wondering if anyone with anxiety had done bar work and how did you cope with stressful situations? Or...
  11. Introductions and Welcomes
    so in 2 days I'm meeting my university classmates for the first time, but I'm so scared of socializing. I'm having panick attacks days leading to it. My heart can't relax. The problem is that I don't have anyone close to be with so I'm scared I'll be alone in class. I'm pretty sure everyone...
  12. Coping With Social Anxiety
    Right so I know the title is really confusing but i’ll try explain it! Basically when something happens and I get offended or upset by it, my instant reaction is to forgive - not because I’m a forgiver but more because I don’t want to the other person to be mad at me for being mad at them and I...
  13. Coping With Social Anxiety
    Phew, I’m back on this board after a three year hiatus.. and not much has changed honestly. I’ve upgraded from a socially anxious teenager in high school to a socially anxious adult in pharmacy school. Yay. I kid, some things have improved. However, I’m still very much an over thinker. Just...
  14. Family and Friends
    Okay, I’ll start this off by saying, I know I should be happy for my brother and show my support by going to his wedding because I’m his sister, and I feel terribly selfish and pathetic for thinking of my own discomfort first, but the more I think about being in that type of situation the more I...
  15. Therapy
    Hi, this is my first time writing here and I'd like some help. I've had social anxiety (self-diagnosed) basically my whole life (for 15 years). Even though I'm self-diagnosed I'm 100% sure I got it right (I had 15 years to think about it after all). My therapist can't diagnose me, but mentions...
