Social Anxiety Blogs

Hello all. I suffer with Social Anxiety Disorder as you all do. I have created my own blog at my own domain at www.livingwithanxiety.net

I've seen alot of bloggers blogging about social anxiety and there experiences, some are not active anymore, but I hope mine while being more active will help contribute to the social anxiety community of bloggers who share there experiences.

Hi im 33 have 4 kids.No friends.My anxiety started in grade school.Im on meds sometimes they work sometimes they dont.I have had a terrible week with terrible anxiety attacks i havent had anything like this for years.Just needing someone to talk to maybe online or by phone.Im not that talkative in person always been real shy.

So I am only a few days away from my first Dr.Visit and getting much more anxious about it the closer it gets. I have already thought about chickening out and not going but I really feel like I should go. Any sort of relief at this point would be great.
I had posted before that I had never talked to my husband about this in thirteen years and I finally took the plunge and told him.

hi there,
I have social anxiety so I thought I'd join this site. I also blog about my depression at:
depressedandanxiouspersons.blogspot.com
if anyone is interested.

I'm kind of looking for a friend.

my first panic attack was in the 3rd grade. my family was on vacation and we were going on a sightseeing boat tour along the jersey shore. i walked up the ramp onto the boat and felt the swaying of the vessel. the prospect of vomiting from seasickness made me turn right around and get off that boat before anyone could say anything. all i could think of was getting sick and i was so afraid of that happening that i flipped out.
then, at age 14, i was hit by a car. this spread my fear into so many other areas. isolation became my constant state and is still my utopia.

ok, so here i am, being a lump of nothing as usual. spent the week helping my dad with my mom who had a stroke on sept. 1 and was just released from the hospital wednesday. slept for 12 hours last night and awoke at 11 am, wasted the whole damn day.
but even if i had somewhere to go, i wouldn't go. except for my parents and my husband, i hate being around ANYONE!!! conversation just doesn't happen for me. the stuff i want to talk about interests no one and the stuff others want to discuss leaves me in a stupor.
rock music- i can discuss music trivia and be totally into it for hours.

So today I was reading someones Blog about having SAD and someone commented that this is not a real disease and that we are people who just don't know how to cope with the real world and to grow up. That was upsetting. Does anyone feel embarrassed to tell people about this disorder because people don't understand or don't believe this is real?

I have always felt like there was something wrong with me and since I have school age children now I am starting to realize how much more of an issue this disorder really is. I just recently contacted a phyciatrist office but it has been two days and I haven't received a call back to set up an appointment. I have not yet been diagnosed but I have been reading a lot of information over the past few months and all signs point to SAD.

I can't remember when this started or how but I know it has been at least since I was a Pre-Teen

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.
