Hey everyone I hope everyone is doing well. I suffer from severe social phobia really bad for many years since I was very young I tried so many therapists,counselors and doctors over the years, I even also tried different meds over years too. Nothing really working. I manage I guess you could say day to day but when that anxiety creeps in well you know it's hard to get through that. The anxiety is always there hovering over me like a black cloud.My God and my family help me keep my anxiety at bay. But with how intense my anxiety is, I'm always afraid like "when will there be my next big panic attack episode so I can burden the ones I love....again."
But I'm trying my best to hang in there.
Always hoping while also doing the work to try to get better. It's been tough that's an understatement, but I try.
I guess I was just explaing what anxiety is like for me and venting I guess.
Short Version Lol....
Well anyway God Bless everyone and I hope you hang in there too, not that it's easy, but hang in there.

Try to think of God working through other people to guide you and tell them your fears and make friends with them. Talk your way through it and discuss favourite things tv nature news with them. You will feel better. Everyone likes to make friends and share or care for someone and talk to them about family and your life as kid or some birthdays or celebrations
I know your right and yes I do talk about all different kind of things, sometimes it works but then I get those days where nothing works and I panic but I keep trying and I keep praying to God.🙏🙂
I have also struggled with social anxiety although not to the same extent. Panic attacks have never troubled me, just chronic feelings of anxiety and the spotlight effect.
I wanted to suggest keeping some social events (start small) on your schedule and showing up, but doing your homework first. Most people enjoy talking about themselves and appreciate a listener. It’s an easy, passive way to interact with others. Come up with a list of open-ended questions and follow- up questions so that you are prepared to start and continue a conversation.
Just a thought, might help, might not. Either way, welcome to the group!
