Social Anxiety Blogs

I've always wanted to talk to others who are having the same issues as myself. I have been socially anxious as far back as I can remember(grade school). At that time I was labeled as being "shy". I found out in my mid-teens that I had social anxiety. I am a functioning SA person, but some of the thoughts that race through my head as I attend functions and participate in things, drains me emotionally and physically. I used to be worse with the worrying about whatever it was that I had to do or attend, not as much anymore because I just tell myself it's not that big a deal. That has helped alot(believe it or not), now and then my SA can be worse one from one minute to the next. I am a 36 year old female and would like to share my experiences with others in the same situation.
