How do I get rid of my severe social anxiety without taking medication? I have tried therapy, my therapist just made me feel stupid, so I stopped going. I have been on a bunch of meds but got off of them all 2 years ago. I am living my life alone, scared,anxious,paranoid, I am ruining and wasting my youth. I am so tired of it. How do I change? Anyone on here overcome their social anxiety? How?!?! People make me shake nervously and my heart rate go up, where I can't breathe, I am so sick of feeling so nervous when I have to talk to a person.

If the therapist made you feel stupid then they were not the right person for you, have you tried other therapists, or any CBT/DBT/etc

Try different therapist maybe?
Cbt never did anything good for me. However psychotherapy and psychoanalysis has helped me somewhat, but it is an ongoing process. The work is about uncovering underlying conflicts that cause the anxiety/other personal problems.
Like you said, people make me shake nervously too, and it is hindering me from living life to it´s fullest.
