it just feels like i dont like people that much and then i feel down/bad about it. i think it might be as i dont like myself or just dont have the confidence. as ive noticed that in my own mind im not criticizing people (in fact i always think they might have mental problems etc. so taht might...

has anyone found a medication or combination which has made them talkative/calm. i have been on paroxetine for about 4 years. at first it worked great. then i was able to think a bit more but it has and still does help sweating and symptoms. i was forced into a charity shop by jobcentre and that...

hi i have read pregabalin is good for social anxiety and general anxiety. and helps make people more talkative. however i have noticed this is mostly from people who say they have tried ssris and which did not help them/work for them or people who say they cannot take ssris. i was wondering if...

i have trouble putting things in perspective. but recently have broke severe depression lasting 14 years and now consider myself very lucky and grateful to be alive and for everything i have, only the anxiety remains. does this mean i still arent 100% grateful and satisfied with everything i...

do people in africa have these problems or any other mental health problems? its just they are always seen stereotypically at least as being content and happy with what they have despite the poverty.

i read somebodys post on sa uk about "just be yourself" and hearing people say this as advice and the person on there replying by saying i would if i knew what myself was. I kind of feel like this too, in a way, which is so annoying because i am a quiet, shy guy (at home) so am just being myself...

I think what i am learning is to view things as i see them (e.g. what i think does matter) and not worry what other people think. Its kind of learning to like myself for who i am i guess and not take it to heart if someone says something to me or criticises me. And then also not to criticise...

I have been having some really bad days recently and some really great days when i have never been better. I know its normal for people to feel good and not so good the next day to do with circadian rhythms. But i mean i volunteer in a charity shop and i was asked to come in. I made it but i...

hi im waine. I developed social anxiety when my grandad died when i was 8. Im 23 now. I was wondering whether anyone had ever tried rapid eye movement therapy and whether it helped them at all. As i understand it, you close your eyes and replay in your mind the event that caused your social...

I have worked on my core negative beliefs to do with social anxiety/depression but will repeating these and thinking back to times when i did something positive actually in time change your thinking at a subconscious level like they say it will. I should say that i am doing exposure work in a...

how do you answer when asked "ever thought of moving away/wanting things from life" my manageress in the charity shop i work in keeps asking about what i want to do. Im sure she means well, but i never know how to answer her. I mean she will ask about whether i have thought about moving away...

i spent the day at my training centre which has put me on voluntary work at charity shop. The training centre is far worse. Some of the people there are loud, rude and just unpleasant. And im made to sit in class with these people for which the work is pointless. I know its only once a week but...

hi i was just wondering what these meant. I have been working on core negative beliefs e.g. i dont like people, i dont need anybody, and replaced these with more postive thoughts like i do like some people or i do require some degree of social interaction - we all do. This quelled these...

I am in a new charity shop now (still on forced work experience). And the manageress and volunteers are really nice. We have just got a new assistant mangaeress and she is really nice too. I like it better here. I have reached a level with social anxiety i never thought i would get to. I will...

i just think its what i need to progress further now. The only problem is getting one. I mean you have to share similar interests and that could be difficult. I am not your typical party guy.
