My tips for dealing with social phobia in college/school:

-First thing you need to do is go through disability so you can get documentation. This was the biggest thing that helped me out in college. Having that paper alone really took away some of the anxiety

-I highly recommend using ratemyprofessor and pick-a-prof to find good professors. You can also see if your college has a grade distribution for each class. Don't be shy about asking around for good professors.

-Try your best to speak out in class even if its something really small.
Practice as much as you can.

Here are a couple devotionals I have just read in the past two days, that have really spoke to me. and I feel that they could help you as well. Quoting from the book "from faith to faith" a daily guid to victory by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland.

What would you think if I told you that you could live without fear? would you believe me if I said that despite what you saw on the news tonight, you could be perfectly at peace? Impossible? unrealistic? no!

I always been shy, but in the last 3 years it got worse and worse , getting so bad i couldnt go to school because I would panic(their is around 800 people in the school).I started going to a counsler once a week but it didnt really help because she keep asking about going to crowded places.I would panic at the tought so she told me breathing tips to help relax when in a crowed these didnt help either.

So I have switched my meds as of three weeks ago. I was on Cilexa but it was not doing the trick. Once I got back to college, which was the scene of some of my worst anxiety moments, my anxiety started getting really bad. I would be at parties and start to have an attack and have to walk back to my room almost as soon as I got there. I absolutely hate that feeling. Also, my Grandma was getting progressively worse with her Pancreatic and Liver cancer. It was horrible literally seeing someone wither away before your eyes.

I get really nervous around people but sometimes i feel pretty comfortable. Im really depressed right now because i used to have good friends and i never thought about myself having social problems.well now that i moved i have no friends and my thinking is irrational. I have this problem at school where my face muscles tense up and i know i am frowning. I dont want to be but my brain cant stop thinking, ok your face is going to frown again." my face is sore and i know my expression is not normal.

So I am at a real low point right now. My grandma is in the nursing home and has a fever and is in a lot of pain. It hurts so much to see her like that and so depressed about her life. She doesn't even look like the same person to me anymore. She is so frail and sad and I just can't believe this is how her life is now.

So a lot has happened over the last few days. My Grandma fell and broke her pelvis last Sunday. Today she is finally getting out of the hospital but I am scared to death. She is a very independent person and for her ability to walk to be gone is an awful thought. She is just so alone now in her nursing home where she is staying for recuperation and I am 2 hours away so it hard for me to go visit her.

So I have been writing in another blog but I have not had anyone write me and I just need people to talk to about SA and stuff. So I am going to post my old messages on here just to keep all my thoughts in one place and then use this as my blog.
