Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site and not even sure if i have Social Anxiety or Social Phobia. Someone mentioned it to me a few days ago and before that i had never even heard of it. I can't do a lot of simple things like talk on the phone, go to the doctor, catch public transport, go grocery shopping even driving makes me nervous. I had to go to the doctor last week and i was in the car driving there and i just kept thinking that i would ram my car into a lamp post or something just so i wouldn't have to go. I'm constantly worrying about everything. My car wouldn't start the other day so instead of calling roadside to see whats wrong and get it to a mechanic i'm taking cabs to work at a cost of $40 a day just so i don't have to call and organise all that. Now i'm having anxiety that this is all not making sense and your gonna think i'm lame. The thing is i don't know why exactly i can't do these things..i just know i can't. When i was younger i was in and out of hospital for a few things and they said i had post traumatic stress and borderline personality disorder but about 3 yrs ago i went to see a psychiatrist who said i was bipolar and had ocd but nothing seemed to help me.
