Facial blushing.

[katielrx]

Hello, i'm 17 years old and I've had social anxiety for as long as I can remember. I take beta blockers but they don't seem to be working lately. My main symptom of SA is facial blushing and it affects my life and the choices I make. I've dropped out of college because of this as it's got so bad. I have no idea what to do about it, I've seen a doctor and he told me to look into CBT but i'm not sure that works, any suggestions ??

hi Katie

I suffer from the same thing something happened a few years back and caused me to blush so much I went purple! before that I never use to notice but this was a bad one and has scared me for life! im trying ways of overcoming it but at the moment the only thing successful is removing myself from the situation and avoiding it! but cant do that forever I suppose!

im bridesmaid twice in one month and im panicking massively, im going to download some hypnotherapy tapes and see if they work, I will let you know how I get on!

just a question, did the beta-blockers do anything at all? xx
