So, i had a LOT of tests last week, and i was in the library for close to 10 hours a day! Now, i have ONE more test left this week, tomorrow, and i have absolutely no motivation to study! Anyone have any advice for me? I just can't look at this stuff anymore, but i NEED a good grade on this...

Hey guys, i have been having a problem lately with my friends. When my anxiety is higher than normal, i have this problem where i expect to be made fun of. For instance, i fear that when i walk into a room, or a group of my friends, they will make fun of me, and put me down. This makes me...

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know of some good news...Today is my OFFICIAL three month anniversary with CBT. Yes, i know it may sound tacky, but i am SO HAPPY for myself! i NEVER stick with things for this long. It has really changed my life around. Let me try to think of some good...

I have been feeling a LOT better lately with my SA and everything, because of the CBT i have been doing. Now that i am feeling a little better, i have time to focus on why i am thinking these bad thoughts and stuff, and i can figure out whats going on inside my head way easier. So, i realized...

Feeling depressed right now, needing to vent. I have been so busy with school lately. usually i tell myself i am not allowed to feel depressed and sad, but i know this is irrational. I have a stupid belief that im not allowed to feel this way unless i am a starving child in Africa in one of...

The Texting Revolution Is Here - WSJ.com Anyone see this? I thought it was very interesting. My opinion is that our entire world is becoming more socially anxious. Yes, we may suffer it with the most, but our society as a whole is becoming more introverted. We speak with words less, and...

I was wondering if you guys could help me out a little with my rational statements(for CBT). As i am doing CBT, i am realizing more and more irrational thoughts and beliefs i have about myself and the situatioins i am in. But, some situations, i just cannot rationalize myself, and i would...

This is bothering me. I am home from school for the weekend, and i have a great group of friends at home, who love hanging out with me, and want to be around me and talk to me. I know, most people on here would dream of this(i was the same way a few years ago). But, last night we were all...

Ok, so this is my basic day: Wake up around 9am-10am...as soon as im up, i start worrying about the day...like about who i will see, how it will be when i walk by people, what my friends are doing better than me, how i will handle seeing my friends in the house, what home work i forgot to do...

I finally am talking regularly to a girl i have liked for TWO years. She has made it clear that she likes me in many ways. But, whenever this happens, i get SOOOO nervous! I cannot handle a girl liking me! Even though i have liked this girl for two years, and she is perfect for me, i still...

This just happened(and always happens to me), and i was curious if this happens to anyone else. I was on the phone(which is awkward enough for me) and, the conversation was coming to an end. I always get nervous at this point about saying bye. What happens is when i go to say bye, i have a...

So, after my 6th week of CBT, i have been feeling noticeably better more often. But, here is a problem i have. When i am feeling down (anxious, and then depressed), i have such a hard time being rational, because i believe my negative thoughts. I guess that is pretty normal for SA, but...

I hope you all don't mind me venting a little, but i NEED to, both because i cannot tell my friends how i am feeling, and i feel like i need to tell someone who i don't fear will judge me negatively and put me down, and reject me what im feeling. Anyway, i am just having such a tough time...

So, i was reading the other day, and stumbled upon something about releasing emotions and feeling feelings. I realized i habitually hide from my emotions, and dont feel anything...ever. I used to be an angry person, but i would let it out freely. Also, with my anxiety, i dont really feel it...

Well...how shall i start? I'm feeling VERY angry right now. I had a very bad appointment with my dad and therapist today which i was dreading for a few days, and it sure did live up to the dread. Haha, kinda funny i guess, but it truly did SUCK. Anyway, ive been angry basically all day. So...

So, i was watching the AMAZING ESPN 30 for 30 on Ricky Williams, called 'Run Ricky Run', and came across this absolutely outstanding, moving quote from Ricky: ""I learned at a very young age that you can't blame your life on your parents or your upbringing or anything that happened in your...

Might be a dumb question, but im wondering how social anxiety starts? How did my (and all sufferers) nervousness and shyness turn into social anxiety? I know i wasnt born with it, i just used to be shy. I can't find any info on the origins of this dreadful disease. My guess is that you...

Wasn't sure where to post this, but here goes...My social anxiety idol is: The character of George Costanza, from Seinfeld :). I recently started watching the show and love it. My favorite character, and my new idol is George. I love the way he lets his anger out, so seemingly effortlessly...

So, i was wondering what people with my condition, social anxiety, do to treat their condition. Also, i would like to mention some things i have done in the past few years to battle this. It all started about 3 years ago when i was 17, and even though i have been batteling, it only seems to be...
