Health Matters: What is Social Anxiety Disorder?

confront your fears.

im 13 ihave diabetes thats enough to deal with anyway confront your fears

No you dont have to live with it! Therapy is not just simple therapy, get someone that knows how to treat anxiety!
Bacterial infections are treated with meds, Disorders are treated with therapy.

Coginitve behaviorial therapy has proven to work more than 80% of the time! Also there are meds, SSRI's have been proven to work also more than 80% of the time.

Just get help, its no way to live like this...

@Solado you dont have to ... u can buy or download this book: triumph over shyness, just read it, no one else needs to be there only you

Im going to live with it, I think i see treatment as pointless as its simply therapy.
There are no "drugs" or "medication" that they can offer.

@kylesmith69 ... in my opinion don't tell her, only if you found a good treatment then.

@Solado are you thinking about any treatment ? or you're just living with it.

nice post! thanks UC!!!

I've had this since I was 4. I'm 35. It's exhausting.

I used to experience social anxiety when I was in my high school, but then I overcome it. How?

Well, only by facing your FEARS, eliminates them completely.

When you go out, people are not watching you or observing you, because they are too busy worrying about themselves.

You do not need a doctor, the only doctor is YOU. Because it has to do with your inner world in some sense.
