In the next 2-3 years if i havent overcome SA yet, probably just commit suicide, not much point in keep living like this tbh, SA is holding me back to study, get a job, get friends,leave the house, cant do any of this, and i think my parents wont maintain me for much longer, so i would have to do something. My guess is probably SA free, with a lot of friends and a job, or dead, sorry im being so negative but its just how i feel.

I've been on medications and seeing doctors every month for years and have only gotten worse.
I have been seeing my current councilor for the past 4-5 months. She says I'm improving but I feel like nothing has changed.

I'd like to think I can be 'normal' some day. 5 years might be pushing it though...

I expect to be cured. No, I will be cured. In fact, I believe I can be cured in the next year.

EDIT: love shyness and AVpd another issue

In terms of SA and Avpd probably not much further but at least I'll be playing accordion f***ing better than now

Hopefully still married... at least one kid... the house built.. living the quiet life in the mountains but being at peace instead of a roller coaster of inner turmoil...I am really working hard on it.. on me..to achieve this..::eek:: (and checking in here after 5 years and seeing all of you have moved on and are healthy, happy, and at peace too as that would be so great to see and feel how far we all have come....)

Job, finally! And I will have my own place and a car. And I'll be travelling to places. My SA will probably still be the same (it's never changed my entire life even when I made an effort to be social...I think my brain is just wired to have it) but hopefully I'll have my avoidant behaviors under control. :)

You know what, I'm going to be positive here. In 5 years, I'm going to be happy with where I am in life. I can't believe I just said that, haha.

In five years, I expect to see myself in a mirror

or in most any other highly reflective surface

I find i look best in flat, dark glass

I'm currently forcing myself to take more modules in my course, and I'm trying to gain some real-world experience in my vocation as well, so I feel like if I can keep it up, I'll be in a pretty good place within five years. I just hope that I do maintain it, because I have this tendency to revert back to total isolation as soon as I feel too uncomfortable with life. I just don't want to get too socially rusty again, because it's so difficult to get back to feeling semi-normal around others. Despite my ups and downs over the past few years, I do think I've made progress though. In terms of confidence and self-assurance, if nothing else.

I will have my degree by then and most likely a job. I prob. won't have much friends though, I can see the people at where I will work asking me to go to a club or something ( I hate Clubs) and me declining. Will prob. be in a new city and not know where to go to meet people. Maybe I will have a boyfriend by then but can already see the relationship failing because of my lack of friends( it makes dependent on my spouse for fun.)

I am terrified to even think of what I would be like in 5 years. Everybody's probably changed, getting ahead, while I am still rooted in the same spot.

Only time will tell. I'm already happy with social phobia, it are SA unrelated issue that dampen my spirit.

We'll see what happens. ;3
