Hi Everyone,
My name is Michelle and I'm 30 years old. About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with depression and SA. My main symptom of SA is blushing. Everything else that goes along with it doesn't bother me as much. I guess I'm used to being really shy. After being on different medications for a while, I weaned myself off. I think the depression was postpartum depression because it wasn't as bad when I went off the medications.
Anyway, like I said - my main symptom is blushing and that's mostly with authority figures. I used to blush in front of my old boss, but then I didn't have to meet with him face to face as much anymore. I was laid off for a little more than a year, then I recently started a new job 2 months ago. Everything was perfect. On Thursday, my boss asked me a question that didn't make sense to me and instead of asking her to clarify I stumbled then turned beet red. It was so bad, that I had to say, "I don't feel so good" and I ran to the bathroom. When I came back I told her I felt light headed and nauseous. I thought that would be in my past but I did the same thing again today. Except this time, it would seem really weird if I ran to the bathroom again, so I had to sit there and squirm. I am so humiliated. Everything was fine until 2 days ago. I have an appointment with my family Dr. tomorrow morning and hopefully she can prescribe something until I can see a Psychiatrist. I am terrified because my boss is going away next week and is going over all the work on Monday. I have stomach aches because I'm so humiliated from this past week. Ok, enough of me rambling, can I ask some questions?
Do you get chest pains (I have been getting chest pains lately)?
What medications are typically precsribed for SA?
Does anyone else blush around authority figures?
If you got this far, you have a lot of respect from me! lol Thank you for your help and I look forward to meeting all of you!
