@JapaneseAnya No u cant cure this urself. You need to get to a doctor immediately. If u try to struugle alone it wont work and time will pass. The doctor will send u to a psychologist where u will learn cognotive/behavioural therapy. Most times it will help you cope better and lead you to not avoid the situations
@raccuia1 Yup...I don't think I'll tell my parents about it...maybe after they get a divorce and things settle down. Maybe....but can't it go away or something?
To the previous posted comment from "rodolforops" using the term "freak dumb fuck faggott". What i say to you "rodolforops" is that you must have serious problems. If you felt happy and without problems inside you would not make such ill informed comments. You have done in psychology what is known as "levelling" because you feel inferior inside.
Please read the book: The highly sensitive person and The introvert advantage. There is nothing wrong with you. You live in a society that suppress your personality. A society where people put a smile on and act nice, but the truth is different, and the vibes they send out, you feel. So in reality you are an Empat. Psychiatrist and the extrovert society do not feel this way, and make you feel wrong instead of researching what it’s really about. You FEEL others feelings.
This video completely took my anxiety away. Look at it this way "its a scientific explanation and not me" just walk straight and keep ur head up and smile whenever someone passes by or say fuck you in their faces and if their shocked then ur in luck
What about bus stops? In one of the bigger cities somewhere? Everyone might wait for the bus. Both genders, all ages. It has to be the right bus stop, in a way. One with a bench to sit on, for example. If you are there first and someone comes along to wait? You have a legitimation to TALK to such a person. And you can REPEAT that endlessly. You might even be able to do that at night, if buses drive. It does not work at an underground station, strangely.
i have it, i can't stand parties, i strart sweating, shaking, wanting to vomit and i cant stop repeating myself i have to escape from there. many people think im weird but i guess im ok.

Hey bro would social phobia mean or if lets say if i buy a drink like a soda pop (can) and i place it down on a table for about 1-2 mins... and there are people around my drink, i think maybe sombody put somthing in it like druged it ,or did somthing to it, so i dont drink out of it again i throw it away and buy a new one.. Sounds weird i know.. but would that be a type of social phobia???
ive been dealing with this bullshit my whole life its gotten to the point where I can barely talk without breaking into sweat or blushing like a mofo. i want to overcome this but its soo hard
Please check out my channel. I used to suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, ocd and agarophobia. I no longer suffer or go through any of it. I have my testimony on how I overcame it all in "my uploads" section on my channel. Please see it...you can be saved from it with no meds, no paying for any "techinique" or paying for anything. It's not a sales strategy...it's my true story. Care about you,
LOL SAD...its alrite im dealing with the same issues. Im excessively always feeling watched and judged...it sucks! i just recently decided to take action on this matter.=)
sorry for reposting this aha i had posted it on my friends by accident ......for the record here ;

I like how u say people w/SAD are not "unwilling" just "unable!" Its so hard for people to understand that we are not anti-social, its just that the anxiety is too much to handle in a social situation leaving the impression that u are unwilling, Thanks for the vid!
I love how u say that people w/SAD are not "unwilling" but "unable" to handle social situations. I was diagnosed w/the disorder my senior year in high school and since then, the situation has gotten worse and has really affected my life. Its good to know that there are a lot of people suffer w/this and that i'm not alone....Thanks for this post!
i made SAD my bitch by joining the furry fandom and interacting with people who have similur intrests

Exercise helps with anxiety. And just not giving a shit about who is looking at you will too. Think of the world as if no one gives a fuck, everyone is in their own world.
I think I might have social phobia. Usually I can talk to friends normally, it really depends on the friend. I mean really I've only talked to my best friend maybe five times in person and we went to the same school. It's hard for me to order food for myself or speak in front of the class. If friends ask me to go to their house my heart starts pounding and in the end I usually make up an excuse to get myself out of it. So, does it sound like I have it?
None of you have to live with this anymore. I used to be a victim of this and I know the frustration, embarrassment and fear that is involved. Please go to my site. You dont need to buy anything, I promise you its already been paid for fuentesevangelism-.-c-o-m-
My upbringing and current work situation has molded me into a very nervous and stressed person. I recently started seeing a psychologist because of my overwhelming anxiety, and the treatment has been helpful.
I think I have this. I have gotten to the point where I don't leave my house because when I do i feel like everyone is watching me. I sweat when I am around people I don't know. Sometimes just the thought of going to the store causes a panic attack.
ive been dealing with this for 2 years now and im also in my jr year of highschool my peice of advice other than seeing a psychotherapist is going to the gym to lift weights and ino its hell dealing with the poeple but trust me its worth it getting all the angre, sadness, anxiety and other pressures in ther
I would recommend a psychologist trained in CBT. (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). If you have social phobia, know that it is not who you are but something that you suffer from. It is highly treatable and you will be cured if you work at it. Many assume there is no hope so don't seek help. But this is not true at all.
i dont like to go out because people look at me and laugh, i dont like eating or drinking in public incase somone is watching me its not because i eat funny or look disgusting its just i dont want to do somthing weird or seem strange i dont go to college because of this and it is emotionaly damaging to me i live in england and i know a couple of people who feel the same but to me they are good looking people, i feel ugly or hidious? they feel the exact same way but they seem to cope better?
i have this disorder and I'm only 13..I'm also very depressed about my life because i know when I'm older i will be alone and my family will not be there for me..so all i can think off is killing my self when ever find a gun..but I'm also afraid of dieing
i just want this too end..and be with my family forever because i only feel safe around them.. :(
lol its 4:50 here now i have been up all night watching videos to do with this, i feel the same way as you but i dont want to kill myself im 16 and alot of people say i have my whole life ahead of me but i feel trapped between going to college and feeling like my life is already over before its began if i dont go to college i wont get a job ill have a crap life but i dont want to start college because i cant deal with being around other people i dont know especialy people of the same age
wow... i guess i do have Social Anxiety. I never really noticed I wasn't socializing much. I can't tell anyone that I think I'm sick (because I believe I'm schizophrenic and have OCD aswell), because I can't talk to anyone without feeling like their going to judge me, and because I don't like talking to people about anything. If I tell people I think somethings wrong with me they'll look at me differently and tell everyone else they know...
There's no really easy way to tell them...you may not even be able to. In the end you may have to seek help alone; a true sign of internal strength. I wish you luck.
Are we anxious becoz we think too much of ourselves and we dont want this fake image to crumble in front of others when we talk to them? Are we trying to protect this fake image?
A great combo for anyone out with social anxiety - propranolol (inderal) to stop the racing heart and driclor (aluminium trichloride) to stop the forehead / underarm sweating. If your social anxiety is off the 'generalised' variety make sure to ask your doctor for the sustained release preparation of propranolol rather than the one you have to take an hour or so before 'the feared event'.
Yeah SAD is come crippling shit, I am currently at uni typing on the computer and I still feel a little uncomfortable because there are other people here.
I literally had to skip a biology lab class because I was late and the groups were formed and I didnt want to attract attention as the guy without a group. Considering the fact everyone is making friends with each other and I havent even talked to anyone, makes it worse. I am too scared to go to a doctor becasue he will judge me.
Actually, a properly trained doctor will not judge you. As a professional, it is his/her task to remain impartial and unbiased about a client. Unfortunately, much like with medical doctors, there are varying qualities of psychologists and other mental health professionals.
My old doctor used to judge me all the time, which is why I hated her anc could never tell her anything but she retired and I have a new doctor, but I don't know her well so I'm finding it rather hard to bring up this problem I'm having.
@mojorhythm dont be scared to go to a doctor i was the same way because i thought im going to talk to some random guy i dont know about my personal problems and hes gonna think im wierd. i know everybody says this but theyve seen it all youre nothing new to them. plus you see the same psychologist everytime and almost develope a friendship with them. trust me get help i was in your same position a while ago and it helps in the long run. good luck
you know what the annoying thing is:/ i couldn't even goto a doctor to talk about my ridiculous social anxiety because THAT alone would be too much for me to handle....
what kind of medication is taken for this? i'm sick of it, and i want an easy way to deal with it.
I couldn't tell you what medications there are for SAD; that's not the field that I'm going into. I'm studying to be a psychologist, I'll be doing analysis, diagnosis, and therapy/treatment. What you're thinking of is a psychiatrist, a person who is trained in psychology, but went through med school as well. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet or easy way out. Even with meds you may have to go from one to another to find one that works for you.
well first, thank you for responding. and second...so what you do is study about the different disorders and diagnosis people of their symptoms? haha i know that's what you typed but i don't want to be wrong. and i just don't see how therapy could help with social anxiety when no matter what any one says it won't really help, you know?
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I do have some idea, and actually there are ways to treat social anxiety without medication. The problem is that in today's world, most people just want to take a pill and go. Therapy-wise, it's like taking a step at a time; gradually working towards easing the anxiety.
i experienced all of what you explained when i was on shrooms and it stayed for a while after i did it...but eventually the extreme paranoia faded away. Shrooms are fucked they fry ur brain....lol....i thought that my own cousins are going to fuck me over....never going to do it again hahaha
Thank you for posting this! You are so right, social anxiety disorder is definitely SAD! I've had it for about 8 years and it is terrible. You were also very right to say that it is not that people don't want to try to stop it, they CAN'T. Some very narrow-minded people think it is something you can talk yourself out of and let me tell you, I've tried and that doesn't work. If you find any alternative treatments besides medications please post that too! Thanks again!
ive never been diagnosed with SAD probley coz ive never been drs but i wonder if i have this,once when i was under 21 i could socialise and talk 2 ppl.now i get nervous meeting even close mates and family that i find any excuse 2 cancel it and if i cant cancel i get really nervous leading up 2 meetin them and while i am with them,i dont wanna be noticed so i shrink into back ground,it wasnt always like this once i was centre of attention,now i hate it
Yeah, it doesn't help any either. Even if I'm in a great mood, if I'm not smiling from one ear to the other people think I'm pissed off. All through out school I was too shy to say anything at all or make eye contact with anyone for more then 2 seconds, but I always had this expressionless look on my face, so everyone probably thought I was stuck up and all that.
That's not the issue that I had in high school and middle school. My issue is that my normal expression will appear angry if my head is so much as slightly tilted to the front. Thus, everyone thought that I was about to kill someone at any minute lol.
Hey, thanks for the comment. What you describe doesn't quite fit the SAD profile. It sounds like a subconscious impulse, not unlike a taste aversion. Because it happened one time you might be worried about it happening again. There are a lot of things that it could be, including the atmosphere of the restaurant, the people in it, nerves, etc. Panic and fear are mostly likely what is triggering the reaction. If that fear gets controlling then you may start showing signs of what your fearing. :-]
Yeah I think your right, I just am worried that It will get worse, I keep fearing it but your right, Im worried it will happen again, or that I will be sick infront of all those people. I went out with about 11 people for someones party 2 days ago and i had a couple of beers with my meal and I was fine really, I had one point where I felt a bit weird and had to stop eating but I had practically finished my meal and its worrying the alcohol makes it better. Any tips to not let this control me?
I'll tell you something, my fear of getting sick (vomiting) is close to the phobic level. I will do anything that I possibly can to avoid it...regardless of cost. Past experiences are most likely the cause of that.
Alchohol is a depressant, basically, it makes you relax, which is is probably the effect it was having on you. Take note of how your mind and feeling shift from the drink and train yourself to do it without the alchohol; mind over body, and also willpower over mind are key to control
Hey buddy, Im 18 and from the UK and I think about a month ago i began developing Social Phobia, Im quite worried about it. It started when i was out in a small restaurant with my girlfriend, I felt sick, went to the toilet and could not eat anymore. We had to go earlier than expected but as soon as I left i was fine. I mean perfectly fine. Now, whenever hearing about having to eat with others, I panic and worry (running out of letters) I think talking to you could help quite a bit. Thanks
SAD has gripped onto, controlled, and destroyed every aspect of my life. I just dropped out, again, this time for good because I give up. School just isn't for some people. I can't even go into the lunch room during lunch. It's dumb. Now I'm a 17 year old hermit. I'd love to get help, but my parents don't understand. They think I'm shy and need to get over it. Besides who has the money fo therapy? Not us. Whatever. Fuck it.
Giving up is a choice just like most other things in life. In all reality, when I was in high school I ate outside every day that I could, regardless of the weather. I wasn't comfortable going into a building full of people that were constantly judging me. Some older people dont believe in the existence of psychological disorders, my grandmother on my dad's side is like that. If you truly want help, then you will have to fight for it, perhaps even pay for it yourself if needed. Hang in there. :]
I dropped out at the beginning of this year at 16, im now 17, i sit around all day depressed, and my parents dont get it, but i talked them into gettin me therapy, keep fighting man, you're not alone.
Technically speaking, the book did not remove the ego problems. You chose to change your way of thinking and behavior based on what the book said. Still, a good suggestion. :]
Crazy? Not at all. From society's point of view though, it is considered odd. The want for a disorder may arise from an internal drive to be different from the faceless many; to stand out in the crowd. Might I inqure as to what disorder you want to have?
I see. Well, while it's rather an odd thing to want, even to me, its not totally un-understandable. I have yet to meet a person with a disorder that is happy with it, myself included lol.
I just wanna say, I have this and I just quit my job for the 3rd time and I'm seeking help. I've been called hot so many times by girls and my social anxiety ruins everything.
Something to consider is that being called 'hot' might make you feel like nothing more than eye candy. That's the way that I am...and yeah, it's not usually a 'compliment' that I find myself able to accept. Just a thought :]
I'm very sure I have Social Anxiety Disorder...Possibly OCD and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (my face)...Maybe one or two others...It kind of sucks. I've pretty much socially isolated myself for the past four or so years and I'm only fifteen. I've always been more shy than normal, though. For as long as I can remember, anyway...
It makes me glad to know that there are people out there who care enough to educate themselves about such things :0)
A phsyical disorder is different from a mental disorder, and while one may cause the other, they are not to be confused. My first inquiry would be whether or not you have seen a qualified professional and gotten a psychological diagnosis. Being shy is not a crime. I would suggest trying to go out in public when you feel able, for short periods at first and working your way from there. Most of the time when I'm acting outgoing it's just that, an act. Not the best solution, but it works for me. :]
i've been looking for this kind of thing i have for ages and i finally found it, ive found that i have social phobia..:( i could go on for days about the things i think. im 15. my life is going downn..and im scared as hell because i focus on it so much.i think im saying to much. and im scared to get help.
Remember this key statement, "If you let fear control you, it will consume your being." A good example (if unrelated): My ex and I had a pregnancy scare and she was so scared of being pregnant that she started manifesting physical symptoms (and she wasn't pregnant by the way lol).
Back on topic. Another thing to remember is that it's good to talk about it. Cases like yours is why I set things like this up, so you can see that your not alone in your fight. Remember kiddo, keep your chin up. :]
I think I had this crap when I was young, and then I got over it, so much so that I became a stripper for a few years!! Talk about being stared at by strangers!!Waahhh!!!!!
Woops! TMI??? Oh well, I'm writing a book anyway. I'll save you a copy.
It does sound like S.A.D. is very uncomfortable to live with.I'm sure that many people are helped with therapy and medication.
I think that,with me anyway,my desire to interact with others became stronger than the fear of looking like an idiot, being judged, thinking people won't like me for one reason or another, etc.I decided that I would not let fear run my life.And as I became more sociable, the rewards were great.I do think that the person's ability to be rational is greatly unappreciated
Not entirely a true statement. Psychological disorders can mend themselves as time goes on. Medication is administered for the symptoms of the disorder, and therapy is a process to speed up the healing of the mind. But you're correct, short term shyness is fairly typical in youth. :]
I worry about how I was judged in some situations that happened years ago it's rediculous. If someone invites me over, I worry about who is there, and sometimes make up an excuse of why I can't go.
I've been known to do this as well, but the only real way to deal with the problem is to 'force' yourself to go anyways. Remember that it is pretty much human nature in today's world to judge one another. On the other hand, a judgement is an opinion, its neither right or wrong. I was accused of sexual harrassment in my 6th grade year. To this day, most of the girls that I graduated with thought I was a perverted creep. Depresssing? Sure, but not permanent. :]
I feel guilty to admit that lately with my s.a.d. being so bad I have smoke pot and drank excessively to help cope with things. It has even gotten to the point now that when i take my dog for walks in the night i have sometimes had to stuff my mouth with a sock or tissue because i am soo afraid i am randomly going to blurt out something offensive.
As much as I say it in person, violence should always be a last resort. Drug and alchohol abuse is never a good idea, but it is a GREAT sign that you can ADMIT IT! Unintenional offence is always a concern in today's world, and as such, you cannot allow the fear to control you. When accidental offence does occur, try to explain the misunderstanding. If all else fails, then defend yourself, but do NOT throw the first punch. Outside of all that, I would ask if youve seen a professional for the SAD.
For me, one of my biggest problems is being afraid to say something that is going to result in harm or being hated. I live in a fairly rough town where you can pretty much count on a fight taking place every week. Me not being a violent person am always afraid i will say something that will offend some thus resulting in an ass kicking.
Yeah, the sooner someone gets help the better, I would say. I have social anxiety disorder and the hardest thing was actually talking about this problem and getting help finally. I mean I waited until things got really bad (fell into a severe depression). But there are treatments to help people who are struggling with SA. I've been in treatment (therapy & medication) over a year now and it has certainly helped. Too much info about me probably..lol.Thanks for taking time to talk about this.
Your welcome. Thank you for the comment. It's good to talk about your your own experiences with SA. Nothing wrong with relaying how you have dealt with it...now if you were giving out things like your phone number or your SSN then I would say that your talking unwisely :]
Your welcome. I'm just passing on the knowledge that I have. I know about triggers; most of the time all it takes to trigger my temper is the wrong word and suddenly your lying on the ground wondering how you got there. I make these videos to help steer people who aren't sure if they should seek help for the things that they feel, think, or the way they behave. One key to defeating SA is literally mind over matter; purposefully practice controlling the panic in a real situation, it should help.
They know it doesn't make sense or logic.. meaning they dont know why these fears or panic happens, it just comes. Like a trigger that is always ready to shoot this panic (blush, swear, etc).
When I was younger I used to be more outgoing as I aged and I Got older I moved to different state . And moved to a different environment . I was kinda of badass growning up . My grades weren't that good in middle school . So I start focusing more on my books and school work . I took honors and advances classes . Did well improved alot But I moved to different environment and I was less outgoing . Didn't really have that much friends .

I think I might have social phobia. Usually I can talk to friends normally, it really depends on the friend. I mean really I've only talked to my best friend maybe five times in person and we went to the same school. It's hard for me to order food for myself or speak in front of the class. If friends ask me to go to their house my heart starts pounding and in the end I usually make up an excuse to get myself out of it. So, does it sound like I have it?

I would recommend a psychologist trained in CBT. (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). If you have social phobia, know that it is not who you are but something that you suffer from. It is highly treatable and you will be cured if you work at it. Many assume there is no hope so don't seek help. But this is not true at all.

If I tell people I think somethings wrong with me they'll look at me differently and tell everyone else they know...
Is there some way I can tell them I need help?

A great combo for anyone out with social anxiety - propranolol (inderal) to stop the racing heart and driclor (aluminium trichloride) to stop the forehead / underarm sweating. If your social anxiety is off the 'generalised' variety make sure to ask your doctor for the sustained release preparation of propranolol rather than the one you have to take an hour or so before 'the feared event'.

Yeah SAD is come crippling shit, I am currently at uni typing on the computer and I still feel a little uncomfortable because there are other people here.
I literally had to skip a biology lab class because I was late and the groups were formed and I didnt want to attract attention as the guy without a group. Considering the fact everyone is making friends with each other and I havent even talked to anyone, makes it worse. I am too scared to go to a doctor becasue he will judge me.

Actually, a properly trained doctor will not judge you. As a professional, it is his/her task to remain impartial and unbiased about a client. Unfortunately, much like with medical doctors, there are varying qualities of psychologists and other mental health professionals.

I couldn't tell you what medications there are for SAD; that's not the field that I'm going into. I'm studying to be a psychologist, I'll be doing analysis, diagnosis, and therapy/treatment. What you're thinking of is a psychiatrist, a person who is trained in psychology, but went through med school as well. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet or easy way out. Even with meds you may have to go from one to another to find one that works for you.

hellokitty4444 2 years ago
No problem :-]
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I do have some idea, and actually there are ways to treat social anxiety without medication. The problem is that in today's world, most people just want to take a pill and go. Therapy-wise, it's like taking a step at a time; gradually working towards easing the anxiety.

Bloodbath1234567 3 years ago
Hey, thanks for the comment. What you describe doesn't quite fit the SAD profile. It sounds like a subconscious impulse, not unlike a taste aversion. Because it happened one time you might be worried about it happening again. There are a lot of things that it could be, including the atmosphere of the restaurant, the people in it, nerves, etc. Panic and fear are mostly likely what is triggering the reaction. If that fear gets controlling then you may start showing signs of what your fearing. :-]
Bloodbath1234567 3 years ago
Yeah I think your right, I just am worried that It will get worse, I keep fearing it but your right, Im worried it will happen again, or that I will be sick infront of all those people. I went out with about 11 people for someones party 2 days ago and i had a couple of beers with my meal and I was fine really, I had one point where I felt a bit weird and had to stop eating but I had practically finished my meal and its worrying the alcohol makes it better. Any tips to not let this control me?
methixulate 3 years ago
I'll tell you something, my fear of getting sick (vomiting) is close to the phobic level. I will do anything that I possibly can to avoid it...regardless of cost. Past experiences are most likely the cause of that.
Alchohol is a depressant, basically, it makes you relax, which is is probably the effect it was having on you. Take note of how your mind and feeling shift from the drink and train yourself to do it without the alchohol; mind over body, and also willpower over mind are key to control
Bloodbath1234567 3 years ago

SAD has gripped onto, controlled, and destroyed every aspect of my life. I just dropped out, again, this time for good because I give up. School just isn't for some people. I can't even go into the lunch room during lunch. It's dumb. Now I'm a 17 year old hermit. I'd love to get help, but my parents don't understand. They think I'm shy and need to get over it. Besides who has the money fo therapy? Not us. Whatever. Fuck it.
seizethekush 3 years ago 10
Giving up is a choice just like most other things in life. In all reality, when I was in high school I ate outside every day that I could, regardless of the weather. I wasn't comfortable going into a building full of people that were constantly judging me. Some older people dont believe in the existence of psychological disorders, my grandmother on my dad's side is like that. If you truly want help, then you will have to fight for it, perhaps even pay for it yourself if needed. Hang in there. :]

A phsyical disorder is different from a mental disorder, and while one may cause the other, they are not to be confused. My first inquiry would be whether or not you have seen a qualified professional and gotten a psychological diagnosis. Being shy is not a crime. I would suggest trying to go out in public when you feel able, for short periods at first and working your way from there. Most of the time when I'm acting outgoing it's just that, an act. Not the best solution, but it works for me. :]

It does sound like S.A.D. is very uncomfortable to live with.I'm sure that many people are helped with therapy and medication.
I think that,with me anyway,my desire to interact with others became stronger than the fear of looking like an idiot, being judged, thinking people won't like me for one reason or another, etc.I decided that I would not let fear run my life.And as I became more sociable, the rewards were great.I do think that the person's ability to be rational is greatly unappreciated
ladyfuschia 3 years ago
Not entirely a true statement. Psychological disorders can mend themselves as time goes on. Medication is administered for the symptoms of the disorder, and therapy is a process to speed up the healing of the mind. But you're correct, short term shyness is fairly typical in youth. :]

luckycanuck90 3 years ago
As much as I say it in person, violence should always be a last resort. Drug and alchohol abuse is never a good idea, but it is a GREAT sign that you can ADMIT IT! Unintenional offence is always a concern in today's world, and as such, you cannot allow the fear to control you. When accidental offence does occur, try to explain the misunderstanding. If all else fails, then defend yourself, but do NOT throw the first punch. Outside of all that, I would ask if youve seen a professional for the SAD.
Bloodbath1234567 3 years ago
For me, one of my biggest problems is being afraid to say something that is going to result in harm or being hated. I live in a fairly rough town where you can pretty much count on a fight taking place every week. Me not being a violent person am always afraid i will say something that will offend some thus resulting in an ass kicking.

Yeah, the sooner someone gets help the better, I would say. I have social anxiety disorder and the hardest thing was actually talking about this problem and getting help finally. I mean I waited until things got really bad (fell into a severe depression). But there are treatments to help people who are struggling with SA. I've been in treatment (therapy & medication) over a year now and it has certainly helped. Too much info about me probably..lol.Thanks for taking time to talk about this.

Your welcome. I'm just passing on the knowledge that I have. I know about triggers; most of the time all it takes to trigger my temper is the wrong word and suddenly your lying on the ground wondering how you got there. I make these videos to help steer people who aren't sure if they should seek help for the things that they feel, think, or the way they behave. One key to defeating SA is literally mind over matter; purposefully practice controlling the panic in a real situation, it should help.

are you doing a presentation? lol
One more thing..
They know it doesn't make sense or logic.. meaning they dont know why these fears or panic happens, it just comes. Like a trigger that is always ready to shoot this panic (blush, swear, etc).
I have SA. Thanks for the vid, good one!
