Literally the first thing I do is open my computer and then proceed to sit here all day on the internet. I really need to stop this perpetual browsing/listening - as much as I like it. Anybody else find it hard to put the keyboard away?

I get them occasionally... kinda once every two weeks - something like that. But when it happens I'll have a string of them. It can be so scary - usually it is me panicking about getting ill or dying. Well it is always that. But tonight I think i've learnt that they are triggered. Does anybody...

As the days go by I flit between thoughts about what my Social Anxiety actually is to me, How it manifests and more importantly how to work a way past it. Over this past week I've started leaving the house and seeing people again! Which is a good thing as for two weeks prior to this point I...

My mind is completely blank. Im not anxious of other people I just simply dont have any input atall. It's crazy. How can I not converse with people? I don't get it at all :( I think I have aspergers or something. What is up with me :( anybody else just have no input atall when talking with...

To the people you do talk to. I'm curious.

walking places or going somewhere and feeling for no reason atall like you are going to burst into tears. And then you can't stop thinking about it?

If you have one of course, I know I don't!

Haven't felt irrational anxiety for quite a while but I've been feeling it build for the past day or two. I'd feel (for no reason atall): Palpitations, sweating, hotflashes etc. So I kinda knew it was my anxiety. But it has all hit off tonight as I'm in bed. When I close my eyes to sleep my...

Even in times when I'm not feeling anxious I feel like it is in my natural disposition to have contracted muscles, to sit forward in chairs and to generally look on edge. I think this makes other people on edge. Why can't I just be like everybody else. I think I've improved a bit since last...

Who with, what did you talk about, how long did it last and what thoughts were going through your mind as you had the conversation? Guess I'll go first... Mine was with my best friend on the phone for about 20 minutes. We were talking about how another one of my friends nearly got caught by his...

Wow I feel like I've just had a conversation where I've made a good amount of input! Even cracked a few jokes and generally felt absorbed... It was on the phone like but I still feel it is in an achievement. It was a catch up with a friend I haven't seen too much lately. Maybe it depends who you...

I love science! I am curious to know who else likes the subject or is studying/working in a field that requires scientific knowledge? Whether it's pharmaceuticals or engineering I'm interested to see how many of you are interested in the field... What are you studying? What interests you most...

... about what's being said. Everyone is boring. The only time I talk is when discussing deep topics. I wish I had a personality.... well I do but it's hidden. I hate being like this - why can't I just be carefree, social and happy? Grrr I need to rant

I am about to have counselling very soon. What am I to expect? If you've had counselling or CBT did you feel it was useful? Please state which one you had and share your experiences I am, naturally (but only slightly), weary.

I think I'm just coming to terms with what I have. Although I'm not diagnosed with anything as yet my doctor does feel I have an anxiety related disorder. I have just received a letter from my counselling service and I am yet to ring to arrange a telephone interview. (I will do it when my family...

I'm new here so hey everyone. But yeah, I struggle with virtually every conversation I have no matter who it is. But to me it doesn't feel like social anxiety. It feels like I actually just can't interact and fit into society. Like I have this impairment that prevents me talking to people. When...
