help

[starfish789]

im 22 and loosing hope. I cant talk to my parents... I cant talk to my boyfriend... I cant get a job... I cant answer the phone and I cant find help. I feel totally alone. I try to force my self in to social situations and with time my symptoms are getting worse. I fear absolutly any kind of social situation possible. Ive had lots of medications and none have helped (they made me suicidal). And now Im jobless soon to be out of money with no where to go. I dont know what to do. Ive gone to interviews... I cant form complete sentences... I cant make eye contact... I turn bright red... My chest hurts, I sweat excessivly and shake and feel terrible... When I was employed it was a nightmare. I was afraid anyone would talk to me. I was absolutly terrified to do any thing wrong that would lead to anyone talking to me. I couldnt call out of work even if I was honestly deathly ill. I avoided the phone at all costs....

All of this and no matter how much i expose my self to it I cant seem to get over it and its gotten to the point that i am jobless and paranoid and scared. I cant afford to get help and I dont know what to do.

If you can't work because of it you will need to look into claiming a disability benefit of some sort. You have to get your doctor to write you off sick before that can happen.

Also, you don't need to be able to afford help. If you're claiming sick benefit medication and therapy and stuff will be free.

Don't feel alone, there is help. The first step to getting that help is to see your doctor.

Just out of curiousity how did you get with your boyfriend in the first place if you say you can't talk to him, i just can't understand how so many social phobes on here are in relationships, o'r perhaps it's easier for women?

he came to me and i just follow him around and he does all the talking... I want to be social... I have things to say... It just hurts to much to say anything... It fustrates him... who knows how long he will stay around before he cant take it anymore.
