Hi everyone, it's great to see a place for people for SP to encourage each another and offer understanding. I have had SP for as long as I can remember and it has had a huge limiting effect on my life. About two years ago I finally went to a doctor and asked for help, I was prescribed medication which really did help. Eight months later I was married and had started a nursing course all of which would have been unthinkable previously. I am now in the middle of the nursing course which involves being on placement in hospitals surrounded by strangers and is still a real challenge for me. I often worry about the signs of anxiety that I show especially blushing. However the medication has helped me to confront SP and grow. As for the future I am hoping to become a psychiatric nurse and help others with disabling mental illness.
