my life story except without the prozac

[Xlolita89X]

Got social phobia. It's so hard to deal with especially because most people don't understand it. It's also very hard (to me anyway) to explain what happens in my mind when I get in an anxious situation. It's very often thoughts that keep coming back-the same ones-over and over again. Sometimes people ask me why I think these things and I can't even tell them why. It just happens over and over again. It's very agressive and invasive. Been stuck over 5 years with it.

[MANSHOTS]

did you ever have obsessional thinking dating back ten to twenty years in the past?

[AaronSzura]

I have just spent 3 hours going over wether a girl was kissing me like she wanted to or wether i just thought she was. Now i just spent another hour realizing that i have phronemophobia, (fear of thinking too much). Then i got worried so i stopped thinking, then i realized if i had selective phronemophobia then it wouldnt be so bad, then i realized i was thinking to much and went for a lie down, then i got bored and searched youtube for a MOTHERFUCKING SOLUTION.

Can you post something about the link on your brief. The youtube linked video is not there anymore. I could really use the help.

Thanks

eating protein i think is good. NOT EATING MUCH is wrong..

[swiv2d]

wow I use to do the same just jot things down random things at night, think quiet franticly, wake up every hour, jot more things down, it was tiresome.

[pennyannem7]

[zzz33333]

hey, this is a great video

[bumech]

don't try medication w/o consulting to a professional.

I used prozac for 3 months, didn't work a bit. I switched to some other drug then

[nonikas87]

prozac is rubbish. it didnt work for me anyway. Only thing it did for me was give me 'butterflies'. And what do you mean by 'professional'.. doctors dont know there left hand from their right. Nor do psychologists!

[jadajean05]

try some cognitive therapy to go with the medication

[GhostKat]

Im glad the prozac worked for you

[biaiaiatch]

wow, i guess im not alone on this one.

[PhantomPirate666]

This is me exactly! I always replay social events over and over in my head because of that fact that I percieve that I made a mistake that I am flawed in public.I cant talk to people on here cause you know Im just facing a Screen and not a human face.Unfortunately Ive experienced this all my life, every single day, Im a recluse because of this.

[absorbantsponge]

there is a cure. first if u have 2 speak in public the day u do dont have any caffiene this activates your mind by releasing dopamine making u think harder which for us ends up leading to obbsessive thinking. eat a little like just breakfast and thats it. when ur drowsey from low caloric intake it calms u down a great deal. hope this helps:)

[sillyass777]

Don't eat so much, so we won't have enough energy to be obsessive?!?!?!.. You've got to be kidding me.. That's a messed up response, even if it works it definately doesn't sound healthy..I will give you credit for saying to cut the caffiene.. I am a cokeaholic and I know after a coke I feel more anxious.

[edwardchambers]

good luck bro.

[illumin8ter]
