Social Anxiety Blogs

Hello My name is BG and I'm new to this site however, I'm by no means new to my social anxiety. I have lived with this for years. Throughout the years my anxiety is not the only thing I have picked up though. I have learned to minimize my anxiety and when it does hit how to control it to some degree. What I can tell you that may help? Do not constantly isolate yourself it makes it worse. Drugs intensify and sometimes cause social anxiety but take the ones your doctor gives you, they help . Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine they make you more anxious and cigarettes also make you insecure. Diet and Especially Exercise are important. Seek one on one counseling to achieve specific goals or if you can do group therapy to wean yourself back into the community and target your anxiety. Help yourself get a grip by expressing yourself through art, poetry, or whatever suits you, write in your journal or blog, and keep yourself busy as much as possible. The most important thing is that everyone is different and what works for them may be as well, but you can combat your anxiety and it’s accompanying depression. Well, that's all I got for now feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need to talk (about SA), good luck with your Struggles....
