Hi ppl, just wanna know if any1 has ever overcome SA to a large extent at all...cause i have been tossing up wether to see a psychiatrist for some time now as there is one in my area that specialises in it and she once wrote an article about it in my local paper and she sounded like she thoroughly understands it. trouble is i thought i was overcoming it for myself for a while there...i thought i was getting better or atleast improving, has anyone experienced this before (perhaps i just imagined it) but then i feel it has reared it ugly head again? i go for long periods were i am fine and then i have an "incident" which gets me down. i hadn't had one of these for soo long and it seemed like i was talking more confiendently to others and stuff? how do you know if you are overcoming it or not? (i debated this wih a family member and they reckon i havn't improved, this kinda shattered my confidence and now i'm thinking about getting help again) i feel if i go and get help the whole process is going to get me down and make me depressed again. also i have a very low paid job andi feel i might not be able to afford it anyway (how much is it gunna cost?). if i feel i'm slowly improving do i try and stick it out? has any1 gotten better this way? or did you feel therapy hepled a great deal or not? did they understand SA/SP to begin with? letme know your stories :?
