and leaning a little bit on my whiskey crutch.
I'm 23, im from a small town in indiana, I've been living with SA since I was 16 or so, the best I can tell (I was normally shy as a child).
Unfortuneatly I hadn't bothered to look into it too deeply until recently, because when I was 17 or 18 I went to a doctor to see what to do about it. Over the course of 10 or 15 minutes I explained everything that was happening, the (horrible) ways I was feeling, and how I would receive comments about "acting strange," and he told me "Welcome to the real world" and sent me on my way.
Being the high school kid and deviant that I was I decided it would go away on its own with enough time and drug abuse. I was wrong.
Fear/anxiety-based paralysis is the norm for me on a day to day basis.
Sometimes I will actually be too afraid to answer a phone call from my best friends that ive known my whole life.
But anyway, I need to be in another physical place soon so Ill wrap it up.
IM SUPER GLAD that I found this place I had no idea that so many of you were just like me
in a good way.
Ive recently started taking paxil for my SA/Depression
and seeing my therapist regularly
so heres to 2012! Cept for the mayans. Kind of a bummer if you ask those guys.
