I saw an ad in the local listing paper for a position as a maid. I need money. I actually want to apply...or call and ask for work. The best thing about this is you are working alone usually and the money is pretty good, or as good as or better than working for retail or fast food. And it's a...

Has anyone been hospitalized for their anxiety and/or depression? In the past week, I'll say I've gotten no more than...8 hours of sleep. I feel like I'm going out of my mind. I don't know what to do now. I'm sleeping less and less.... I'm not leaving the house. I don't know what to do. I keep...

I honestly hate everything, including myself. I hate being such a big ugly nothing. My life feels like it will go no where. I use to have big dreams and goals but now... I don't care. At all. It's all pointless. My SA is getting worse, for one, and no one cares. I've been sick for 4 months, it...

Does anyone experience like twitching in fingers and toes? Or even in the face. I'm been having like spasms and twitching. Now it's in my face. I don't know if this is due to anxiety or something else. ::(:

Something bad has happened to me. And no matter whta doctor I go to, none of them listen to me. What do you do when you go to the doctor? I'm so frustrated and I'm very scared. It's not something I just made up. I feel so alone and I don't know who to talk to or how to get them to listen to me...

Who advocates for us? Like there are programs for many disorders but it seems ours aren't really helped. I mean, yea there are clinics but I think that with jobs and with education, there should be a bit more help there. Like there are advances in technology that could benefit us. We wouldn't...

I have a friend... I met her in class. She's very nice and I'm happy that someone wants to hang out with me and is interested in being my friend despite my social quirks. The big but in this situation is that I don't want to hang out with her. I love being alone. Spending time with people isn't...

I'm currently taking a spanish course. I've had to drop this class twice b/c the difficulty of going to class and facing the situation. This is my third attempt and we have to talk to each other, read in class, discuss things. It's hard. I shake the entire time. I fear her calling on me. It's...

Were you even in denial about your social anxiety, depression or anything like that because of your fear of what others will think of you?

After attending this university for 2 years and struggling with classes due to my SA, I found out just yesterday that there is an anxiety clinic on campus. I'm very happy and very excited that I found out about it but I'm scared that it will be hopeless like all other attempts to get better...

I feel so alone with this stupid disorder. It's gotten worse. Today in class we had to type up some stuff. But the anxiety is so bad that I can not type in front of anyone. There's a long list of things I can't do in front of people without the twitch or the shaking. So I didn't do the...

I know this may sound weird but I just had an idea that I wanted to share with ya'll. What if we do like a get out there challenge? We can do things we normally would like to do but don't because of our SA or other reasons. We just have to do little by little, week by week and tell of our...

I found a group in my area that meets up. All members are either shy or have SA. Im afraid that some of the members are more shy than actually have SA. They meet up at Cafes and places like Dave and Buster. That already makes me super nervous.::(: Back to the point, have any of you joined...

I actually had an internship in a busy office. B/c of my SA, I'm sure people thought I was weird. I'd freak out being in meetings and after the office moved to a smaller more open office, I felt a panic being there. This caused me to seek out alternative solutions to make sure I was able to work...

I'm hoping to be able to have a good semester. I kinda start feeling panicky when I think about school starting. Since the summer began, I've been hiding from everything. I've just stayed in my room and not gone anywhere. I did go out twice. Once for my bday and another to take my sister in law...

I have a hard time saying anyone is hot or attractive... I have a hard time saying a lot of things. Recently I have been using facebook a bit more than I usually do when school is in. I find that it's a practice on being social. I'm awkwardly saying things I normally would, telling jokes, and...

I wish I knew how to post a picture of this... I had a scholarship dinner a few months ago. I had to get on stage to accept the award. Prior to that, I was in front of a camera... My aunt told me a friend of hers saw me on tv... That really freaks me out a bit. That whole night took a lot out of...

My dad told me to apply for some jobs. I don't know what to apply for. I've been locked up in the house all day for the past two or three weeks... I just want a job that I can do without feeling weird then leaving after a couple of months. This is something I've done in the past. Any ideas? What...
