Ok I am new to this site. I have had some trouble excepting that I have an anxiety disorder. I know something is wrong. My doctor told me over a year ago that I hyperventilate and I am not aware of it but she could tell by the deep breaths I am always taking. Now it has gotten worse I think I suffer from depression and anxiety. The physical symptoms scare me the most the chest pains which I have ran to the ER on numerous occassions just to be told I was having a panic attack.

Im new to this and stuck in a rut. I have SAD really bad. I never got a drivers lisense cause I can't stand the thought of taking a drivers test with a stranger and other drivers scare me. Can't get a job because I panic at the thought of dealing with ppl. Can't go to college once again because of the ppl. Can't date. I'm 28 and Stuck. No car, NO job, NO insurence, Can't afford a doctor or Meds, I"M stuck. What kind of job can a person get with this when there is no jobs? I always feel like Ive done something wrong even when I know I haven't. HELP, someone, any advise is wanted.
Hello I'm new to this I have suffered from SA for many years now and at times its more mild than others but lately I've been feeling very self conscious and its driving me crazy I need to meet new people that I can discuss some of the feelings I have.
It's come back again. I need help. I'm only 23 years old! What can I do?

Managing Anxiety and stress during the holiday's can be extremely hard due to the fact that you are surrounded by friends and family and it's sometimes hard to get some time to yourself, but very necessary if you feel anxiety mounting. Don't be afraid to excuse yourself for a few minutes and find a nice quiet place to regroup. Even if you just have to sneak away, by all means do it. Everyone will be busy with everyone else and they most likely not know you are gone. Do this a few times per day if you need to.
i wish everyone wuldnt give a crap and not be so judgemental.. but its a human thing to do.. think about it.. if we didnt have social anxiety and we were stuk up snobs lyke most people, our natural nature is to judge the first person that acts weird and tense and 2 nice not confident ext.. u might be like noo i kno wut it feels like 2 be judged i wuld never judge.. but picture ure self never experiensing SA and being normal.. u wuldnt kno how horrible it feels 2 be judged for something u cant control.. u wouldnt understand there for u would naturaly instictevly judge..
So I don’t know how to start this. At all. I’m basically just writing to reassure myself I’ve still got normal thoughts. I’ve been thinking so much lately, of why I don’t think on the same level as I used to. The little things used to be so obvious to me, little quirky remarks and variations or references of and to different words and topics. I used to hear a word and immediately have a list generate in my mind of a bunch of thoughts that in some way corresponded to the word. I would then decide on which made the most sense in the conversation. I know I’m insecure.
