Alright Guys,
My name is Craig 26 and I have just been diagnosed with Social Anxiety. I always guessed that I may have a problem, yet never believed that I had a social phobia. Last week my girlfriend of two months (the only proper girl friend I have ever had) dumped me. That night I didn't sleep trying to work out the problem. After going over every day I saw her and every conversation we had I realised she lost attraction to me because I always had anxiety around her and could not be myself.
I met her one night while on drugs, drugs always take my anxiety away. All the fit birds I have ever pulled have always been while on drugs. When day 2 happens and I am sober my mouth goes dry, my throat tight, my palms and forehead are sweaty, my muscles all over my body tighten and worst of all my witty, sharp charismatic personalty is hidden as a lose my mental clarity. One night I walked into a bar with her, bought a couple of drinks, paid for them, got the change and then walked away without the drinks. This is not me!! And this is why I have never had a girl friend.
I know I have charisma and aint bad looking so everyone around me has always told me that I am fine and don't have a problem, yet deep down I knew I did. My girl friend dumping me may be the best thing that ever happened to me, as this has made me take action and she was also a bit of a nut as well.
I went to see a hypnotherapist this week who when asked me what the problem was told me straight away that I have social anxiety. She said that she could tell that I was an introvert, and this anxiety has held me back all my life. I will be starting treatment ASAP, probably next week, they say that it will be 6-12 weeks to sort the problem, I can't funking wait.
Anyway no doubt I will keep you up to date with how this goes.
