Today I am extremely depressed after going to the gym to workout. I feel awful that after a year of going there, i've never really talked to anyone. I shouldn't do this, but i'm always looking at other people and how they are talking to other people, laughing, smiling and I feel like a total...

I just wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas and I hope that your day is as best as you can have :).

Thanksgiving again, and again I feel horrible. All I did today was visit my brother in a psych hospital, cry and cry more. I'm tired of being this alone, but I really do not have any idea of if it will get any better or not. Yes I can try to meet people, and I do meet people, but then they are...

I've been so horribly miserable lately, that I think i'm having some sort of nervous breakdown. I've managed to avoid most of my social anxiety by avoiding people, places and things. But now it's come back to really haunt me big time. I'm going to be going on new meds soon and my therapist...

I've really wanted to start going to church again, but, i'd be alone and I don't want to feel all paranoid and anxious in a church. I've gone alone before and it was very akward for me.

I'm am so painfully lonely, I can't stand this anymore. It's basically just me and my cat because I have no friends and only a brother who uses me. I want to be out in the world with a life, but i'm always too scared. I want to volunteer, then I get scared. I want to work, then I get scared. I'm...

Hello. I'm in my early 30's and looking to talk with and possibly meet a bi or gay woman for friendship. I'm gay. I live in the US in New York. ;)

I'm sure i'm not the only one here w/ a family that likes to think that we will basically bend over backwards for them, anytime. My new therapist is great, she tells me to love myself and not let this happen to me. My brother who is incarcerated in a forensic psych center, is really getting on...

I'm so friggin bored, that I finally decided to go to New York City by myself. This should be very interesting because I hate noise, people and anything that has to do w/ either of them. I'll be staying in midtown and just plan on seeing central park, a museum, some times square stores, and...

Why do I even try to meet people, when I know that i'm too uneasy around anyone, let alone a whole bar full of people like tonight? I met someone new, we ate out then she suggested going to a bar where she usually goes. If that wasn't bad enough, she had friends there too!!! I went because I...

If there is anyone that lives a totally ridiculous way of living, it is me. Because I have spent so many years being so uncomfortable around people in any social situation, now I psyche myself into thinking I hate everyone and I always want to be alone. Is anyone else like this too? I mean I can...

My doc just started me on Xanax and Lexapro, and I wanted to know if anyone else has experience with taking either of these meds. I've taken Lexapro in the past, and has worked well for general anxiety, but not for my more severe social anxiety. And Xanax, i've done some research on the net...

I feel horrible, so much that I want to die again. I'm very much alone, no friends, no family, and I want to get out there again and work, but ofcourse i'm always too scared. My phobia is extreme, so much that I avoid almost all people I come in contact to. I guess because I have lost so many...

I'm in my 30's now, and for me, probably due to many bad social experiences, my social anxiety has worsened over the years. Now i'm more alone than I have ever been, hardly if ever socialize with anyone other than my brother. But I worry that my brain has literally suffered because starting at...
