I suffer from social phobia and I am afraid to talk to people. I have a hard time starting a conversation because I can't think of anything to say. I used to drink and that would give me courage to talk. But now that I have moved to a new area and I don't drink or do drugs I don't have any...

How do I cope? I hate life sometimes! What really gets me down is not being able to communicate. I am practically speach-less in most situations! I feel like a complete freak I hate not being able to have a conversation, not even with my friend some days. Hate it when my friend and others...

Can't even go anywhere myself anymore... too afraid to... I live a sad existence. One of my problems is that I look like a 13 year old and am judged for that as well. It seems that whatever situation I have ever been in throughout my entire life, I was always the one picked out for others to...

Any one read any Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Self Help Books? Was just wondering how are you supposed to get rid of the Negative Atomatic Thoughts and change them into Rational Thoughts if you know what certain (insensitive people) are going to think of you? Like when people say to you 'Shut up...

Hi, I thought some of you might be interested in my recovery story. I suffered badly from Social Phobia, but I eventually overcame it by attending group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I no longer have any of the symptoms of SP, despite having suffered from it for over 30 years. I also developed a...

Hi im 17, soon to be 18 and female. I feel silly typing as I know so many people suffer and I don’t want to trouble any of you but I don’t think I have other options at the moment. :oops: I feel like I’m boring you with the same old stories, however I have valued these when reading from the...

No energy to do anything! Does anyone else wake up in the morning feeling this way? Im constantly tired! Apparently this is part of being depressed, just want to know if anyone else feels like this. How do you overcome it!

I too suffer from sp. I just graduated from High Schoola week ago. It was 4 years of lonely missery :cry: . I just started going to a phycologist and I look forward to taking medication. After briefly reading some of the posts I noticed that no one had really overcome sp. I just wanted to know...

I've been visiting this site for a couple of months now so i thought it was time i signed up and introduced myself! :) I'm 26 years old and although i have not been diagnosed by my GP, i know i have SA and have done all my life. However, is only recently that i have started to research the...

I've finally decided I need help, but now don't know where to turn. I have insurance, but don't know if I should make an appointment with a doctor or a counselor. The doctors I've called can't take me for weeks. Any input is appreciated.

Hi, I thought I'd post. I'm 17 and female. Um, I'm worried that I have this social anxiety thing. Or at least -something- is wrong with me. Please please read what I write and respond with your thoughts on if anythings wrong with me. I always think people are watching me when I'm outside...

Hi, i understand how much it sucks to blush at anything. i mean, if some one looks at me that i don't know i turn red! i tried it all-i would stay up all night so that i'd be pale the next day. i wouldn't eat for a few days and boy that worked. i was too out of it and weak to blush. so those did...

Do any of you get jolts of adrenalin shooting through your brain when you are in situations you fear?

What a quite lonley place this is! I know you people are out there but I feel like I am all alone. Perhaps my phobia is not as strong as yours I don't know. I know how scary it can be to make contact with others but it will help you if try andyou will also be helping me . Please try to find...
