    Some days come with milder anxiety than others...

    Like somedays you won't even be able to walk through a shopping centre without feeling terrible. Other days, like today, I was fairly good besides the time I was in the middle of the centre with lots of people there, and a couple of times I avoided a path because there were outgoing teenagers...

    Friend will not go to the movies with my other mates...

    I have this friend, we were good friends at school and that, but since then, he has rarely wanted to go to the movies with the rest of us. Theres always an inconvenience and there are inconsistencies with his stories. Now this isn't doing me any confidence at all, but it isn't as bad as it was a...

    Books and TV shows about SA.

    I want to read any detailed or self-help books on SA. What are some good ones. However I am affraid to order these books because someone will find out. Any TV shows recently. Probably covered vaguely at one stage by a current affairs show or Dr.Phil, but are there any specific ones?

    Personality=Taboo

    Taboo There is one thing I never talk to anyone about in Public, except to my closest friends. Even around them, I rarely ever do. Should I reveal anything about this, It will leave a hole in my armour where people can psychologically stab me repeatedly. It is the product of the past, its who...

    I feel like I am fighting an on-going war...

    Against the people I like to call the judgementals. These people are seemingly out solely to assassinate your character and syphon any confidence you have. There are many of them around, but there are a select few that you run into frequently, this is my problem. Someone knows I am really...

    Having social phobia is like being a balloon...

    It only takes one prick to ruin your day... Thursday, April 3, 2008 One Prick I compare my self to a balloon. Floating with the breeze, only with what is right. I can feel like I am flying sometimes. However, its so sad, it only takes one prick to deflate you. A prick, in more than one way...

    Staying Still and concentrating for a long time...

    I really struggle to stay still for long periods of time, especially when other people are around. Even if I do remain seated or whatever, I become very fidgety. Maybe I just do something to ease the tensions a little bit. Same could be said for concentration, I can't do that for extremely long...

    Just some of the things SA sufferers hate doing...

    I would like to draw the picture of the SA monster even more today. We have had the behemoth, the wall, the magic and a machine. Now we have a Boa constrictor. Not quite as big as some of the objects and aspects mentioned above, but my presence feels like it is being restricted by the scales of...

    Social Phobia-The monster that will eventuallydevour my mind

    Blog entry incoming... The First Tree. A new era has dawned. We have all 'recognized' the dangers of Global Warming and we, humanity are in hysteria. In my mind, I felt a similar recognition when I discovered SA. Apparently, humanity must become eco-friendly to avert a global disaster...

    Saying Hello and Goodbye.

    Quite often, I can't do this at all. I rarely say hello to people I know when walking along the street, unless they say hello first. Even then, it is a very soft 'hello'. Same with goodbyes. I hate the thought of saying goodbye after I finished work or at any social gathering (I very rarely put...

    Customer Service, could you do it?

    I couldn't. There have been times when I could of been dropped into that end, but I didn't know specifically about SA at those times. I couldn't think of anything worse. We are very vulnerable to the judgment, and the customers do that left right and centre. I would be damn near dead by the end...

    Lately at work, I haven't been able to socialisewith anybody

    It feels horrible at times, at work for 6-8 hours, I want to talk to other people , but I can't get myself to do it. The only time I will talk is if I am very certain I won't be rejected in any shape or form, or if I have to issue a work command (even then, I still let them do it themselves...

    Other Phobia's that make life even more difficult...

    Does anyone here have any other phobias, which compound their SA anxiety? I have Cynophobia or a fear of dogs. It makes going outside even more nerving than before. Places such as parks and beaches are big no-go zones for me. Dogs+ judgmental people= trouble. I must say, my fear of dogs is more...

    Did you think that something else was wrong before SA?

    Before you found out about it? I used to notice I would get tense around large crowds of people, I thought it was claustrophobia or something like that, but then I realised that I was perfectly fine surrounded by walls or some other non living object. Other than that, I thought It was paranoia...

    Anyone know any good songs about SA?

    I know there would be songs about the things we go though, although I don't know whether there would be many directly about SA. I want to download and listen to these songs, a little bit of connection to the song, I would get.

    World of Warcraft...

    Does anyone here play? I have been doing so for 2 years, its somewhat a good escapism for me. Seems like a good place to ask, the socially 'lesser' types are often associated with wow 8O I have a level 70 Paladin on Jubei'thos if anyone wants to know.

    We must seem like emotionless drones...

    In a social situation, when someone asks for your opinion or says something, do you ever feel that you can't get yourself to care about it? Everyone has some opinion on anything, but I can't seem to get that out to others in most cases and I woodenly try to make it seem I care, I think I...

    How much would psychiatric help cost here?

    I have absolutely no idea about price, I assume top end is very excessive though, and even lower end isn't cheap. Just a general price range would be nice, how much did it cost you? That would be handy also Thanks.

    Is this OCD?

    I seem extremely obsessed with checking for diseases. In certain phases, I will check my body for Lumps, watch out for any signs of sickness, and if I find one, I will worry about it for days. Same with moles. I know it is natural to check these things occasionally, but it occupies my mind a...
