Hi everyone,

i fell upon this forum when looking for remedies for social phobia, I have suffered with the condition for over 11 years, only now finding that im not alone with it and theres a medical term for what I suffer with.

I would like to speak to people with it, share experiences all that, im not very computer literate and cant seem to get into the chat area.

Any help will be appreciated in getting me started on here.

I finished a very good job 5 years ago due to the social anxiety, noone had any idea I had it, somehow I just about use to hold myself together in the meetings that I had to attend and speak in I use to take betablockers, the last 9 months though before I finished I was pregnant and then couldnt take them. I understand why you would be embarrassed to go to the doctor as when this first gripped my life, I went to the doctor, only to have her look at me with a amused expression on her face.

Im wanting to return to work, I have missed out on going further in my past career though scared of returning to work. Bascially I dont want this feeling nomore, I have had no professional help and I feel now its about time I did, with what I know now, I can insist on seeing a professional as before now, I really did think there was no name for the feelings I have.

Thanks for the message, if anyone has any tips or can speak of tablets that have really worked for them, types of therapy, I would be grateful.

Im a bit worried too, as for years I have not fed this feeling trying to bury it, speaking about it im worried could bring it strongly back to the surface. Im willing to give anything a go though as I need to move on and make changes in my life.
