Hi, Thank you for allowing me to join your community. I suffer with extreme social anxiety and general anxiety. I also have Treatment Resistant MDD. Nothing seems to help much. My 28 year old son also has social and general anxiety along with Bipolar. He doesn't leave the house and lives with us. I'm hoping, maybe, to gain some helpful ideas here and maybe pass on a few.

welcome to you. I have not been around here for some time, just ventured back on today. It’s nice to be around those that understand and I know from previous experience I learnt a lot here. It helps us better manage things, and good to have a place to come and write it down..

Take care best wishes

😊

You might try finding a therapist that specifically treats social anxiety and work with them and maybe have your son do the same. They will typically use group and exposure therapy as part of the process and teach you new ways of thinking and how people perceive you. There are also online programs available and you might also check out Youtube for more information about it. You and/or your son may also benefit from medication at least temporarily.
