Well I'm from the south of Ireland and I think I would be interested in joining a group as well. I think that would really help me. I don't know anyone who blushes as much as me and who is as insecure socially. So if anyone is interested please get in touch. Thanks.

hi

Hi Tucker thanks for replying. I don't get on line much coz like I mentioned I can only get on line in internet cafes. Well I'm from Cork anyway and yeah I would be interested in joining your group, is this a group online or a group where ye meet each other in real life?
It is good to talk about these things, when you're surrounded by people who don't know the meaning of social phobia you get to think that there's something wrong with you. Coming on here makes me feel normal.

Hi :)

I'm from Ireland too. I don't know whether it's just me, but does anybody else think that Ireland is the single worst country in the world to live in, if you're suffering from SA? Everybody seems so friendly. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been sitting on a bus or DART (staring at the floor, refusing to make eye-contact with the person across from me) and some eejit suddenly strikes up a conversation, as if they've known me all their lives.

More importantly, I think Irish SA sufferers are left completely in the dark, suffering in silence. If it wasn't for the internet, I'd still be in ignorance of the condition I suffer from. My own doctor had never even heard of SA, and dismissed it as nonsense. There seems to be so little support or awareness of the condition available in Ireland.

Anyhow, I'm hoping we can change that (even just slightly). I've set up a forum, which anybody is welcome to join (the link is in my sig), called Irish Social Anxiety Chat, which will hopefully, in time develop into a community where Irish sufferers of SA/SP/Shyness can seek solace and learn more about their condition.

Hi

Hi everyone this is the first time I've posted on a forum like this. :D I joined SA support a while back and I've been lurking,reading posts and it helps that there are others out there esp in ireland that suffer from similar problems. I live in Dublin and am on a waiting list see a pyschologist as it's about time I tried to deal with my 'issues' because at the moment my anxiety around other people seems to be ruling my life. It's gotten so bad that I start to sweat, tremble and shake when I have to go out in public and even getting a bus or going to the shop has me in a state. Social situations are v difficult esp meeting new people as I know they'll instantly think I'm a wierdo or some kind of freak. I gave up my job a few months ago as I couldn't bear to be in the same room as my co workers and I used to get so wound up that I'd vomit in the loo and be in constant state of panic and be totally freaking out and It was so obvious to others that I was in bits. I'd get called nuts or told that I was off my head and I couldn't stay in that situation any longer. So at the moment I'm kind in a state of limbo knowing that I have to make changes in my life but scared at the same time. It's fabulous that there is a space on the web like this and hopefully I'll get to know a few of you
