Red blotchy blushing with Social Anxiety Disorder.

[Leese]

Hi. I've really been suffering from SAD because of this fear I have of getting a red blotchy skin on my neck & chest when I'm anxious & nervous (that may sound pathetic but hey that's just me) & more often than not it happens. I've had it for years now & have tried so may things to calm it down. Just tonight I found a couple of websites you might want to read about. And the fear of blushing/flushing when in social situations is called Erythrophobia (I never knew this).

This is for people who may have become Socially Phoebic because of the blushing etc.

You're not alone! I have it too..

It's a vicious cycle you try not to blush but that just makes you blush more!

I'm not so bad now though as I used to be, I find it helps to not think about it too much, and instead think i'm not going blush cause there's no reason to and even if I do it doesn't matter, or I just pretend i'm hot or something.
