Social Anxiety Blogs

Im here to share my story in hope that it will help or encourage someone. So here it goes, My Story:

Well, this is my first entry on this site.

So i'm also brand new to this site. After spending yet another friday night alone in my room crying I thought maybe it would be best to do SOMETHING that might help. I'm guessing almost everyone here feels the way I do, cuz it feels like I'm completely wasting my youth. Like I'm going to look back on what SHOULD be the best years of my life but are far from it. I'm only 19, and I've been struggling with what I now know is SAD since I was 12. Throughout junior high I was extremely quiet, had bad skin, and blushed in almost any social situation.

Hi,

I suffer from SAD I'm in college and there are some classes where presentations are a big part of my grade, those are the classes I'm failing. I was just wondering if there's anyone here who successfully overcame Social anxiety. If you have overcome social anxiety please give me some tips on how you you were able to accomplish this.

thanks :)

I'm new to blogging and could use some pointers. Should I write like I'm writing a letter or should I write like I'm having a conversation? I have super social anxiety and I am really tired of it. I use to drink alot and that caused a load of problems. I don't drink as much and my anxiety has become more intense. I am taking some medication but it's definitly not enough. I'm even anxious about anyone reading this, so please "don't read" lol

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.

Discovery Studios, a division of Discovery Communications, Inc., is producing a one-hour groundbreaking documentary special about anxiety disorders, which will air on The Discovery Health Channel. We are trying to spread awareness and understanding of these under reported disorders, thereby giving hope to the millions of sufferers around the country.

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.
