i have a speech impediment due to my jaw alignment and have been made fun of most of my life because of this. ive only had 2 friends my entire life, they're still my friends, since i was 5 years old. now i am 20 and still have problems such as: talking to anyone (friends, family members, strangers), i too would shake and become dizzy when i would have to give a speech in school or read aloud. one time i was given a part to act in english and i refused. got suspended for it because my fear.
I've been dealing with a small case of social anxiety, seperation anxiety and just plain old anxiety sense I was young.. when my mom left to go somewhere and her bf was taking over I felt like I was dying because my symptoms were so bad but now I worry about projects.. speeches ect. I think I have depression too and ptsd from the tramatic things that happened in my past. I can't seem to heal and it hurts to talk about it because I always end up breaking up in a cold sweat and tears. Lifes hard.
Did you tell your parents? because im afraid to tell my parents anything! anything im feeling. anyything i want. if i get a boyfriend. i dont no why im so shy i dont think i have theese symptons. but i cant get help from anyone if i want it. im afraidd.
I think I have social anxiety, I went to nurse(I don't know if that's the right word) at school and told her that. I was nervouse like hell, shaking and stuff. I was trying to explain but I was so nervouse and then she sad that she didn't belive I have social anxiety..and I am suppose to go back but now and explain more or something....and I don't want to. Don't know what to do, don't want to talk to her, a stranger... I just had to write this somewhere. Good video btw.
@AlexandraLindahl You should tell your mom, father, sister, brother, best friend, someone you can trust and you're comfortable telling this to them. I had somewhat of the same problem. Instead of the nurse not beleiving me it is my parents. But you should defnitaly get help if you REALLY think you have. Thats what I'm doing now.
I have social anxiety disorder and sepreation anxetiy. It makes me feel like I'm going to be sick, I shake.. I sweat, I sometimes get diareah, I want to cry...
I hve social anxiety disorder. At school people ask me" why are u so quiet and shy?"
me" don't know' I don't like when they ask me that it makes me feel bad... but I guess they are just curious but still. At home I'm outgoing. I have like about 5 friends. 2 of them are in my grade but we don't talk much the other 3 r my neighbors but they're younger then me like a bout 2 or 3 years older I just feel comfortable around younger people and adults, the most.=)
THe weird thing about me is That I don't get scared speaking infront of the hall class But if some one asked me something about what am saying I get a panic!
specially the one's who usually make fun of me (IN my new school)
i know how you feel !people just dont understand how hard it is to live a life like that where you are always afraid and always sad.you got it when you're 13 , i got my whole life so you're just a little bit luckier than i am.dont worry to much i will always support you guys who suffering from this horrible disorder!and yes school is the hardest because you're always afraid to be embarrass in front of the teachers and student,people who just have this do you know how the quiet and shy feels now?
i have this, and well i didnt go to any doctor or therapist but im 100% i have it, when i had to do a oral class on school , i talked to the teacher, and she told me that i was 18 and i was not a kid. she said "oh cmon, ur not in preschool , if you dont do the oral class , you will have a 1" ...... so annoying. i hate my life like this, i NEVER had a relationship , i almost dont have any friends, and i got out dancing and all, BUT I GET DRUNK . so i can have the courage to dance and be "cool",
This made me cry because i'm going through exactly what you went through. I told my mother and she thinks i'm being dramatic (which i can be at times) I also went to see a doctor but he just thinks i'm a little shy because i couldn't explain what it's like.
Yeah I noticed I had this after about 4 years. I went online too, cuz I knew something was wrong. It's like I wasn't normal. Something was missing and I was dreading class everyday. I learned I had this a year after I found out bout my depression. It's been 4 yrz I been sufferin from both but I never went to a doc r whatever. Too terrified. I congratulate I for doin so though.
@SlapstickCoyote i just transferred 2 a new school so far its been a week and i eat in a bathrom stall but when the bathrooms full i go sit outside on the steps in the back of the school it really sucks i feel like such a loner
@stasyfinch eh hence why we dont talk about our anxiety so much because people like u are to stupid and narrow minded to understand anything
therapist doesnt really help and it costs tons of money and alot easier said then done -_-
but then again i highly doubt u understand anything about social anxiety. or really anything judging by the narrow minded pieace of shit u call a comment
Thank you for posting this video. it sounds dumb my heart is beating out of control but im 29 and had no idea what was going on with me until i look at anxiety on the web i did the same thing u did. with the pain pills. now that i no im not alone i will d my best to get help. im sick of liveing my life n fear! thank you so much u r a big help i feel like you just saved my life.
Has anyone suggested the scientific approach? A Neurofeedback specialist can analyze the problem by looking at the brain activity. If you have severe activity causing your thoughts to race this will cause severe anxiety. Neurofeedback can unlock the brain. My son has had 26 sessions and is feeling extremely better.
Hi, I'm 12 years old and i think i might have an anxiety disorder or something. I get very panicked whenever I'm about to be around people and even more when I am. It just freaks me out for some reason. I also stop breathing, and i just want to find a way to get out of it. Is this normal? I just don't know what to do please help.
I have anxiety and panic disorder I got it when I was only 6 years old. I have been cutting myself for a little over a year and I have attempted suicide. I am now seeing a psychologist and I'm getting the help I need. If I can give any advice it's to tell you that you can survive and you can overcome. Things will get better. Other people will never understand people with anxiety, cause they don't know the pain, but your not alone in this pain and it's not just crazy, it's real
I have SA too. but i´m not shy in front if my class because i actually like them. but talking to a teacher is just... a nightmare. i barely go outside because i´m constantly nervous and my whole body s shaking and my heart is racing and I feel like i´m gonna faint every moment. I try telling my friends but i always get an answer like 'it´ll get better' fact is - it won´t .. because nobody is trying to help me. and i´m scared of going to a doctor on my own. -.-
How did you get the courage to tell someone? Who did you tell? Please, I know I have this social anxiety thing... but I don't know how I could ever tell anyone that I NEED help. I'm 13 now and I really hope that I can find a way to resolve this before,before, I get into the stage where I become abusive towards myself.
I'm really glad that I found this video, because at least now I know that I'm not just "extremely shy" and that there is something wrong with me.
I'm kinda like you too, i don't know how it started it just started and i'm scared of big girl groups, and if i walk past them i know they'll be talking about me. There are ways to overcome this, if your quiet like me and if a classmate of yours tries to talk to you- you talk back, even a simple yes or no is alright. And speeches, i try to think positive about it like "It'll be over and everyone will forget about it" and true to word they did. Don't over think! it will be fine =) BE YOURSELF.
I have had social anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder and depression all going on at once when i was a teenager and up until i was 22 years old!!!! I have overcome the borderline and slowly getting over the depression and am now dealing with the social anxiety. I ALWAYS avoided presentations.. i even pretended i was THAT ill that they rang the ambulance and sent me into hospital just because i didn't want to present lol. Nobody knows i faked that, it's kinda embarassing.
I hate this thing.My parents dont unnderstand it , and all the teachers just act likeI'm some kind of freak... I have like 5 friends but I dont have any true best friends, except one...I guess. I just wanna disappear, or be someone else, or just like steal someone elses personality..lol I hate blushing, being shy, being scared for NO reason...This crap jus makes everything look worse than it really is. And I feel mentally ill so I just wanna disappear..Not exist. I'm tired of the life I'm living
@KioraKara i have social anxiety and i dropped out of high scoo twice..and i have literaly 0 friends..and no1 to talk to..im also 17..if i overcome this disorder..i want to become a psychiatrist and help ppl out who r going thru this
I'm scared of taking risks . I always end up embarrassing myself during oral presentations . I can't even talk to my teacher without finding it hard to swallow .
My parents never understood . They always said , "Don't be stupid . There's nothing to be afraid of'' But they don't understand how hard it is .
I even get picked on for it , I especially hate it when the teacher asks who wants to go first . And everyone chants my name .
its hard i try to smile but now my mum just thinks im depressed and makes see people. how can i tell her how can i tell any one how i feel iv never told any one.
even when i go to doctors i end up feeling more alone i wish i could disappear.
its hard i try to smile but now my mum just thinks im depressed and makes see people. how can i tell her how can i tell any one how i feel iv never told any one.

even when i go to doctors i end up feeling more alone i wish i could disapear.
this made me cry! i know i have this and its soo hard to deal with. I hate it because ive finally been invited out somewhere and im scared to death..i dont know if i can do it..
I NEED HELP! ok soo im 95% sure i have this... i have freinds, and talk to them at school, but other then that i dont speck at all. If a teacher says my name for attendance or anything like that, my heart drops, my face turns red, and can i sweat like crazy! I studder when they want me to talk (if i can get it out) and i dont take breaths when this happens. Is this social anxiety disorder
@1994FireBug yes it is, i am 30 years old now i did not get help until i was 28 my high school years were a nightmare i did not want to go to school i did not have a lot of friends and the few that i had i was embarrassed to tell them and anyway they would not understand we were kids we did not know what social anxiety was 15 years ago i was like a wierd kid my face would turn red for no reason u just needed to stare at me fo a few seconds and i would be embarressed so please get help
seeing so many people suffering like me.. my heart goes out for u.. :'( no one understood me.. not even i... but there are so many people just like me.... :'( i m so torn right now :'( :'( :'(
i just dint knew y i felt like running away when i met new people.. i just thought i needed more exposure.. i had been out with my boyfriend and his friends for a road trip.. it was the first time that i had experienced this thing at the climax........ we had been to water falls on the third day and my bf went out for a swim.. i was left alone wit his frnds :'( it was the worst.. i dont no how i dint recognise my feelings.. once we came back to our room.. i curled up and cried like a baby..
i have a horrible strain of this disease and to me anybody who tells you youre just seeking attention SHOULD BE SHOT! i mean that litterally. this RUIENS LIVES! and no one understands or gives a fuck. i've been on 9 different meds over the years, seen a psychologist, a psychiatrist, attented 3 therapy groups. im doing the work and nothing fucking helps. now all i want to do is bust peoples fucking heads open. FUCK is it frustrating. sometimes suicide is a good idea. its just euthanasia to me.
I told someone. Told me I was being stupid, that I was over exaggerating, and seeking attention. But I know i'm not. I did the same thing..I kept looking online for years...for why i felt liek this. And one day..S.A.D popped up. I toook many online tests, all of them told me to seek help from a doctor. I told my mom. She brushed it off. People don't understand how...scared I am to talk. Even to my best friends. One of them understands. So she does all the talking for me. Idk what to do.
oh my gosh. really, thank you for making this video. i'm only 14, and i thought that it wasn't possible to have it at this age, so i began to worry. most the people i've spoke to over the internet who have it are in their 30s, so now i know, and am comforted that you also went through it when you were young. take care. becky x
in all of my classes i sit alone and don't talk to anyone and when we need to do group projects i ask the teacher if i can work alone or if she can put me in a group for me... whenever we watch movies and everyone moves around i just sit by myself.. but luckily and also rarely, there is atleast 1 kid in atleast one of my classes that likes to talk ALOT... even if you don't say one word to him he still talks to you.. which makes it a bit easier for me.. but then again, it's rare that it happens..
i'm not sure exactly what i have.. i think i just have approach anxiety.. which means that like, i'm afraid to meet new people and make new friends and stuff.. because when i meat new people i kinda panic for the first couple hours.. depends on the person.. but then after i'm fine.. but SOMETIMES i'm afraid to be with my own friends cuz i'm afraid it will be awkward.. idk.. i think i have a mix of both social anxiety and approach anxiety.. i've told a couple people.. i'm afraid to tell my mom :(
my mom doesn't think I have social anxiety but thats because i hide it with cutting all the time i have scars all over my arm now. but I told my friend and my dad overheard and he said he new what it was because he has it , but now he thinks i am making up that i have it he thinks my sister has it way more than i do.
I suffered with social anxiety disorder at the age of 12. I found ways to help myself and now I can say that I'm fully cured (I'm 20) I went to the places that I dreaded and built up the strength to face the world. I'm glad u made this video I would also love to help anyone that I can with this. I can tell you how I got through it (no meds) and u can too.
It's a struggle with my mind just to get through a day of school. I can't make eye contact. I can't socialize. I can't speak infront of people. Sometimes I feel extremely parranoid, and worry about my friends thinking I am wierd. People have recently started to question why I shake all the time, or why I always blush, or why I always take everything personally. They don't understand, and never will. I spend my weekends in my room on my own, wishing it to go away. Wishing that I can be normal.
@nonstopjc2k8 U can be normal, just think, u have this one life to live. U see ppl everyday in real life or on tv having fun and being themselves. U ask urself "why can't that be me??" U can get through this like I did. The hardest thing to overcome was the constant blushing. U think too much about it how would u act if u were alone? Exactly. Strive to be more like that person. I actually like the rush I get when I'm in front of ppl (maybe I'm weird)
I had it all my life too. I keep on going everyday. I have two degrees and two small children. I know it is really hard to deal with this disease but I can say medication helps. I started taking pexeva last year and I see a big difference. I don't care anymore what people say about me. I agree most people don't understand how you feel but there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I'm a work in progress and I hope you guys get better too.
I have social anxiety too, im 15 and had it since 4th grade. No one understands, I cry all the time because of it, i feel like things will never get better. Ive been through counseling programs, ive taken pills, zoloft, which made me want to commit suicide, everytime my life gets just a little bit better, everything comes crashing down on me. ive talked to my mom about it, she just doesnt really care. I have no one to turn to. :/
My parents don't understand either and that made it worst. :( Honestly, I dropped of school four times and now I think I'm going to drop out again.. I don't want to disappoint my family anymore. But I just feel powerless to overcome my anxiety. I want to go out there and make friends but SAD is really getting in the way of everything! THIS REALLY RUINS MY LIFE! I wish I didn't have it!
I know. No one understands, they think you're overreacting when you tell them ! It's so frustrating. It makes everyday so much harder and school is the hardest. I wish I didn't have it too ! x
@ImWalkingAfterYou Can i be your friend ? Maybe i can help , I overcame it once for a whole year , but then it got back at me :)
Its very very hard to overcome , but you can do it , I am sure i will somehow do it again , I dropped of college myself , and then I dropped off it again and now im trying to do correspondence .
My hands get very shaky,my heart beats faster and my stomach aches every time we're we have presentations and oral recitations and reports. But most of time I just get away.. I don't show up in class.
I'm slowly overcoming social anxiety. Medications have seemed to help me. I have anti-anxiety meds for emergencies but I hate taking them as they mellow me out too much, into a state of unbearable depression. I had alot of obsessive thoughts along tagging along with my social anxiety, I was put on Tramadol (off label use) for this. It's incredible how much of a difference this had made...so everyone out there, don't discredit meds completely. I understand.
i have a speech impediment due to my jaw alignment and have been made fun of most of my life because of this. ive only had 2 friends my entire life, they're still my friends, since i was 5 years old. now i am 20 and still have problems such as: talking to anyone (friends, family members, strangers), i too would shake and become dizzy when i would have to give a speech in school or read aloud. one time i was given a part to act in english and i refused. got suspended for it because my fear.

I have Social Anxiety too .
Everyday , I cry myself to sleep .
I'm scared of taking risks . I always end up embarrassing myself during oral presentations . I can't even talk to my teacher without finding it hard to swallow .
My parents never understood . They always said , "Don't be stupid . There's nothing to be afraid of'' But they don't understand how hard it is .
I even get picked on for it , I especially hate it when the teacher asks who wants to go first . And everyone chants my name .

i have a horrible strain of this disease and to me anybody who tells you youre just seeking attention SHOULD BE SHOT! i mean that litterally. this RUIENS LIVES! and no one understands or gives a fuck. i've been on 9 different meds over the years, seen a psychologist, a psychiatrist, attented 3 therapy groups. im doing the work and nothing fucking helps. now all i want to do is bust peoples fucking heads open. FUCK is it frustrating. sometimes suicide is a good idea. its just euthanasia to me.

I told someone. Told me I was being stupid, that I was over exaggerating, and seeking attention. But I know i'm not. I did the same thing..I kept looking online for years...for why i felt liek this. And one day..S.A.D popped up. I toook many online tests, all of them told me to seek help from a doctor. I told my mom. She brushed it off. People don't understand how...scared I am to talk. Even to my best friends. One of them understands. So she does all the talking for me. Idk what to do.

oh my gosh. really, thank you for making this video. i'm only 14, and i thought that it wasn't possible to have it at this age, so i began to worry. most the people i've spoke to over the internet who have it are in their 30s, so now i know, and am comforted that you also went through it when you were young. take care. becky x

in all of my classes i sit alone and don't talk to anyone and when we need to do group projects i ask the teacher if i can work alone or if she can put me in a group for me... whenever we watch movies and everyone moves around i just sit by myself.. but luckily and also rarely, there is atleast 1 kid in atleast one of my classes that likes to talk ALOT... even if you don't say one word to him he still talks to you.. which makes it a bit easier for me.. but then again, it's rare that it happens..

i'm not sure exactly what i have.. i think i just have approach anxiety.. which means that like, i'm afraid to meet new people and make new friends and stuff.. because when i meat new people i kinda panic for the first couple hours.. depends on the person.. but then after i'm fine.. but SOMETIMES i'm afraid to be with my own friends cuz i'm afraid it will be awkward.. idk.. i think i have a mix of both social anxiety and approach anxiety.. i've told a couple people.. i'm afraid to tell my mom :(

my mom doesn't think I have social anxiety but thats because i hide it with cutting all the time i have scars all over my arm now. but I told my friend and my dad overheard and he said he new what it was because he has it , but now he thinks i am making up that i have it he thinks my sister has it way more than i do.

I suffered with social anxiety disorder at the age of 12. I found ways to help myself and now I can say that I'm fully cured (I'm 20) I went to the places that I dreaded and built up the strength to face the world. I'm glad u made this video I would also love to help anyone that I can with this. I can tell you how I got through it (no meds) and u can too.

It's a struggle with my mind just to get through a day of school. I can't make eye contact. I can't socialize. I can't speak infront of people. Sometimes I feel extremely parranoid, and worry about my friends thinking I am wierd. People have recently started to question why I shake all the time, or why I always blush, or why I always take everything personally. They don't understand, and never will. I spend my weekends in my room on my own, wishing it to go away. Wishing that I can be normal.

@nonstopjc2k8 U can be normal, just think, u have this one life to live. U see ppl everyday in real life or on tv having fun and being themselves. U ask urself "why can't that be me??" U can get through this like I did. The hardest thing to overcome was the constant blushing. U think too much about it how would u act if u were alone? Exactly. Strive to be more like that person. I actually like the rush I get when I'm in front of ppl (maybe I'm weird)

I had it all my life too. I keep on going everyday. I have two degrees and two small children. I know it is really hard to deal with this disease but I can say medication helps. I started taking pexeva last year and I see a big difference. I don't care anymore what people say about me. I agree most people don't understand how you feel but there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I'm a work in progress and I hope you guys get better too.
God bless you all and thank you for the video

I have social anxiety too, im 15 and had it since 4th grade. No one understands, I cry all the time because of it, i feel like things will never get better. Ive been through counseling programs, ive taken pills, zoloft, which made me want to commit suicide, everytime my life gets just a little bit better, everything comes crashing down on me. ive talked to my mom about it, she just doesnt really care. I have no one to turn to. :/

My parents don't understand either and that made it worst. :( Honestly, I dropped of school four times and now I think I'm going to drop out again.. I don't want to disappoint my family anymore. But I just feel powerless to overcome my anxiety. I want to go out there and make friends but SAD is really getting in the way of everything! THIS REALLY RUINS MY LIFE! I wish I didn't have it!

I know. No one understands, they think you're overreacting when you tell them ! It's so frustrating. It makes everyday so much harder and school is the hardest. I wish I didn't have it too ! x

I'm slowly overcoming social anxiety. Medications have seemed to help me. I have anti-anxiety meds for emergencies but I hate taking them as they mellow me out too much, into a state of unbearable depression. I had alot of obsessive thoughts along tagging along with my social anxiety, I was put on Tramadol (off label use) for this. It's incredible how much of a difference this had made...so everyone out there, don't discredit meds completely. I understand.
