Social anxiety and GAD.

Yes, my psychiatrist prescribed it to me. That was around a year ago. I've had a weird experience with it. I'm too slow and lethargic to FEEL anxious but I'm too in my own world, which in turn make me...well, feel a lot of things. I definitely think it was the wrong drug to give me. I'm kind of...

Okay. My eye contact is epic. I can look people straight in the eye. The problem. It feels wrong. It feels uncomfortable. I feel like I'm making THEM feel uncomfortable. I feel like they're gonna crack up at how uncomfortable I look at any given moment. I don't know why. Before I had SA, 2 years...

Anyone on here taking Risperdal? Has it helped you? I'll share my experience as soon as I hear from someone else. :)

Does anyone else here suffer from laughing uncontrollably at inappropriate times/ at inappropriate things? I do it amidst serious conversations. It offends the person and I hate myself after it happens. I'm on medication and it still hasn't stopped my urges. I used to have to leave class in...

It works! I filmed me and my best friend interacting and the eye contact, body language, everything, was so perfect and natural. It gave me the confidence that I look perfect when I interact. I no longer have the fear of looking awkward or giving bad eye contact. I'm great. :) You should...

I wanna cure it, today. Exposure has made it a hell of a lot better. But I need sound advice, Buddha quotes, anything!

What are you guys doing/dressing up as for Halloween this year? :)

That feeling you get after having a successful and enriching social encounter. I love it. That's why I question whether I'm an introvert or not, if I can be so proud of myself and happy after having a social encounter, am I really not affected by external circumstances? Do you guys feel that...

I just started doing this. I'm starting to get more and more comfortable doing it. I remember when my anxiety was at its worst, I would put my head down and take notes incessantly. I would not look up for anything. Now my head is up high and I give the professors as much eye contact as possible...

I've reached an all-time low. I feel like I can't connect with people. I don't feel passion when I have conversations. I don't know whether or not my medication may have something to do with it. I used to be extroverted, I lost it. I want to feel a connection... "that connection".. lust, with...

This is going to sound really weird. But I have a phobia of my face. All my life I was extroverted and considered "beautiful" until drug use lead to psychosis which shook me to my core and made me socially anxious. Now I'm left with a phobia and delusions related to my face. I feel like my face...

Anyone on here new to social anxiety? I was an extrovert up until drug use which lead to psychosis and depression which in turn has made me socially anxious and awkward. I am now on medication and avoid social situations as much as possible and have friends who constantly try to make an effort...
