Social Anxiety Blogs

And by saying that, I am new to this site and new to discovering what my problem has been all these years. It started about five years ago and it has ran my life in every aspect. I am such a social person and in high school I had sooo many friends. I never got embarassed when talking in front of the class or asking questions in school. Then it happened, I was at work in a retail store and a guy was flirting with me and I could feel my face get really hot and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. It was a horrible feeling and when I went to the back room and looked in the mirror I had this horrible rash (not bumpy like a real rash, just blotchy with color) all over my chest, neck, arms and face. I looked like a monster. And what makes things worse is when someone would say "oh my god what's wrong!" I basically wanted to crawl in a hole.
Ever since that day I will break out in a blotchy red rash anytime I am out of my comfort zone or I feel too much attention is paid towards me. I won't even discuss what happened at my wedding!!
I am reaching out to this site so I can know that I'm not the only one who has these problems. Because to this day I have never came across someone with the same side effect of SAD and if I ever do I will give them this biggest hug...even though they probably wouldn't like it...lol. But you know what I mean. I just need guidance and support because this is not easy to deal with when no one else in your life can grasp what is going on in my head. *Thanks for reading : )
