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.

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.

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

Hi,

I suffer from SAD I'm in college and there are some classes where presentations are a big part of my grade, those are the classes I'm failing. I was just wondering if there's anyone here who successfully overcame Social anxiety. If you have overcome social anxiety please give me some tips on how you you were able to accomplish this.

thanks :)

I'm new to blogging and could use some pointers. Should I write like I'm writing a letter or should I write like I'm having a conversation? I have super social anxiety and I am really tired of it. I use to drink alot and that caused a load of problems. I don't drink as much and my anxiety has become more intense. I am taking some medication but it's definitly not enough. I'm even anxious about anyone reading this, so please "don't read" lol

Im new to this and stuck in a rut. I have SAD really bad. I never got a drivers lisense cause I can't stand the thought of taking a drivers test with a stranger and other drivers scare me. Can't get a job because I panic at the thought of dealing with ppl. Can't go to college once again because of the ppl. Can't date. I'm 28 and Stuck. No car, NO job, NO insurence, Can't afford a doctor or Meds, I"M stuck. What kind of job can a person get with this when there is no jobs? I always feel like Ive done something wrong even when I know I haven't. HELP, someone, any advise is wanted.
