• Social Phobia?
|
I've been reading up lately about Social Phobia. I'm pretty sure i have it, but i'm so scared.. The symtoms work; i blush excessively! i sweat a lot and i get a stomach ache when i'm in social situations that can be embaressing or when i think i could be in a situation like this.
I was reading up things to do to stop it on the net, but the only advice is see your doctor.
I really dont want to do this. I dont even know where the doctors is and i never go there.
My mum has a type of phobia like this called Agrophobia, it's like this just much worse. I'm scared I may grow up to be like this, as it is probably inherited. But i really dont know what to do, there's nobody i can really talk to about this, as its too embaressing!
Please help me.
And don't just say 'See your doctor'
This isn't something i want to do, i know i should, but this isn't really telling me something i dont know.
Thanks so much..

• Social phobia...?
|
Im 15 years old. I have been bullied all my life in school since the 3rd grade. After about 5th grade... it caused me to have social phobia because people would always torment my looks and my "BIG BONEDNESS" Its caused me to drop outta school and forced to be locked up in my house. Like i cant go outside if a neighbor is standing there... i always have like this shyness that he/she is looking at my appearence. Is there like a way i could treat this? I used to be social and have friends and everything, but the past 4 years ive been kind of a loner. Which i like very much. I dont know, i just love being by myself.

• Social........phobia??????????
|
Ok,so here is my story...
I've been in a long rush trough my life ,it all begun at the age of 14 when i had severe depression treated with antidepressants.I was very very anxious&stressed&co. later i became socialy isolated and very shy, i think it's because my dopamine was depleted in that strong depression (full 3 months of panic attacks + more)
I had some other problems that induced my social phobia ,I had severe acne & scars wich made me impossible to talk/look/carry a conversation with people,i was extremly stressed 2 years like passing out every day with my mouth dry.
However my acne was treated and i have no longer scars,the fact is that all my past friends are gone and I became isolated,there is one major problem in all this bullshit.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE EXTREME ANXIETY AT MEETINGS,after I meet someone that i know i can carry a conversation but I just cant meet that person so i just keep runing from them ,i can't look in their eyes i preffer ignoring my old friends...what's wrong with me ? i find it impossible to meet someone just like say ''HI,HOW ARE YOU'' im always feeling heartbeat and my blood running like a train when I see the person girl or boy.But if i can do a good salute everything goes well,it's just i fear to met them,what the heck is this ????
anyway it's very strange that im not anxious with unknown persons,just with girls when it comes to meet them.But i'm terrified of my old friends,maybe it's linked to my past or something?And even if I meet a new person and after some weeks I meet him again i'm terrified of the meeting (shaking hands,saying hello,etc) but as I told..im afraid of meetings.
someone experienced this ? is it normal ?

• What is the difference between shyness and social phobia?
|
I am a very shy person and I've always been that way, but lately I feel like i may have social phobia too? It's confusing because I don't want to get tested for social phobia if it's going to end up just me being shy? Can someone please tell me the difference and give me their opinions on what I should do.

• How do you deal with social phobia/social anxiety disorder?
|
Does anyone have tips for handling severe social phobia? I have panic attacks going to Walmart, campus, anywhere with people. Even driving, picking up the phone.. I have very bad social phobia. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone here has tips on dealing with it.
I do see a therapist weekly, and am on some meds, not including xanax or anti anxiety pills. More for my ehlers danlos syndrome related stuff (whole other story).
