I get a pit in my stomach just thinking about meeting or being around people. I depresses me.

I find it hard to do too. I'm envious of those that can just be fearless in meeting and speaking in front of people.

Hi, I recently developed a social phobia related to work. I many times get riddled with fear when I think about when I have to go back. It’sa type of performance anxiety too I guess. I had some scary situations last school year that got me to this but taking my medication and starting a new therapist. Hoping by August I can handle going back ok.

You may have social anxiety, it's all types you need too, go see a doctor and explain that to them to get treatment. I have a 12year old son, and had school anxiety, I didn't no that even existed, where he would repeatedly cry before school saying his head aches , his stomach was cramping up where it cause him to go to the bathroom so much he looses weight. I took him out of school and now I'm homeschooling him. This way he get treatment and relax his nerves until he get better.
