Hello all. I'm new here. I have lived with social anxiety disorder for almost twenty years. I am now 31 and not long ago decided to give up hope once and for all of ever getting help. I've tried numerous medications and doctors/therapists none of which have been able to help me. I really wanted to post in here an excellent resource I found on the web. Maybe you all have heard of it. It's called the Social Anxiety Institute. I dare say it has brought me a bit of hope. I don't know if we are allowed to post links but a search on google will easily find it. Please check it out if you haven't.

Exist pre history - i doubt it, back in those days people had to work together in order to survive, everybody worked in collective harmony.

lol! Thanks for the welcome redlady.

And since I can post links, here is a link to a site that is connected to the SAI. It has loads of information as well as some inspiring stories from others who have gotten better. Check it out!

Hope to see you all around. hmmm maybe I should change my screen name? It is kind of depressing.

Senna-pod..look it up, it's appropriate for my mood this week.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel like shit - but i don't think you and i should share a shitty pod - or a pod that gives you the shits - let's be nuts.
When i looked up senna pod i came across this play called "The confessions of a Secret Senna Pod Drinker - play? ah radio program actually by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes. The humour in it reminded me of yours - funny stuff. :lol:
