Hi all, I have suffered with SA/SP for 12 yrs now and yet still find it hard to admit to others, and myself, that I have a social phobia, like I'm ashamed of it...does anybody have a hard time admitting it? Only recently since starting CBT, and checking out this forum, I'm coming to terms with how quite common it's becoming, which is a great help as I know I'm not alone and there is quite a lot of you, to my surprise, that are going through the same thing as myself, which is a great comfort.
I'm a 25 yr old female and have suffered with SA/SP since I was the age of 13 - 14, but my anxiety became full blown when I was 16. At the age of 16-17 I was a total recluse but managed to get myself to step out into the world again. I did try therapy when I was 17 and attended a group therapy, but unfortunately didnt work - I think I wasnt ready then. I have recently started CBT and so far I'm finding it a great help.
