There's a lot of great recommendations in this thread. That's great. I hope you are successful, because this condition is horrible. I sort of went through it during the first stages of Social Phobia, and I obtained a paper route just up my street from a friend of mine so, that's what kept me out...

Hi lily, is everything okay?.

I have been on this site for a few years now. I came back to see how things were doing. I noticed theres a few threads that no one has replied to yet, so here I am!. I really hope other sites don't take over regular forums like these, so far I think they are still here to stay for now. I...

Hi there!, I also had a late diagnosis of SA, in fact I found the information online and printed it out, brought it to my therapist at the time and he fully agreed I was right. That was around 2005-2008 but can't fully remember. No one truly understands this disorder unless you go through it...

Hi all, I just wanted to ask this question about anyone taking medication right now and are experiencing ED. Could you live with it for the rest of your life if it meant a better life, minus that side effect?. Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

I don't know if very many people overheard friends or people that know you say this behind your back, but I heard it once. I was running in gym class and quietly moved up on some guys in my class and of course.. yea. Then it's like "oh!, sorry we didn't know you were behind us". Did you...

Hey all, For those of you who were able to greatly motivate themselves to achieve nearly impossible things that you could never imagine, answer the poll to create a nice graph so we can all see what has motivated everyone in the past. For me, it's wasted time that has motivated me, and the...

Hey all, I'm thinking of what kind of job I should go for. I looked at trucking, baking, technical support professional, and all of them have annoying job responsibilities, and I just thought of a "Field Technician" today while driving, and thought it might be alright for me. A "Field...

Has anyone here put off their losing weight goals for too long?. For 9 years, I have been overweight and it has made me feel so low of myself that I just dont feel like being social at all. Nothing has been able to change my mind of this, and no therapists know wtf I'm talking about. But any...

Hey all, so I know that some of you out there reading this have either a history of being outgoing before you got SA, or you just grew up with SA from the very beginning. But for someone like me, I was outgoing until I was the age of 15. After that, and a tramautic experience, I developed SA...

Hey all, I know that many people here like to go for a job once in awhile. So, basically I've been thinking about what goes on in my head. The thing that I think is "someone will see me jogging" which isn't what I like, because I fear being judged, I fear them saying "oh I saw you running the...

Hey all, So please forgive me for sounding like I'm a deadbeat but, I am stuck in my current job. To advance, I would have to go to school for 1 month at a time for 3 months. That means going to the big city, and of course I would be staying with my dad, but leaving my apartment, and it's just...

Hey everyone. Just wondering if any of you were able to motivate yourselves during college to keep working on assignments after school despite being completely lonely, depressed, and with no life contact in those times that you were by yourself in your dorm room or living with your parents?.

Hey all, I've made a poll, which asks questions of what you would do if you lived in a small town up until your mid 20's, while going through SA.

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone here has ever worked as a Medic?. Is it a good SA job or is it something I should steer away from?. A friend of mine (who doesnt have SA), took the medical transcription course and became a medic, up north, and all he did was cruise around in an ambulance and...

I know a lot of people these days that go through social anxiety can get stuck in their lives. I am in that position right now. I created a poll just to get a good idea of how many people really are stuck like me. To get past the point of being stuck, it would probably take motivation that...

Hey all, I remember being asked this at a session I had with someone. What is your level of depression on a scale of 1 to 10?. For me, it would be a 8 or 8.5.

Hey all, I am just wondering if anyone here that feels that they are obese, and have people tell you all the time that you look fine, but deep inside you still feel like you are overweight and that you dont feel like being social because of it?. Anyone skinny that is reading this, won't get...

Hey all, I know this might sound like a weird question, but I am going to ask it because I am looking for the article. Let me explain. I found an article a long time ago while searching on Google and it was about a guy who lived in a bigger city and had social anxiety. His mother was moving...

Hey all, just wondering if depression and loneliness has prevented you from getting through life. I made a poll, sorry if it doesn't have all the best options.
