Recently diagnosed with inattention ADHD.
I have major
social
anxiety
and I struggle to talk to strangers, unless it's something I'm interested in. My apologies for this really long post, but I'm hoping some of you can possibly point me in the right direction of how to try and get my life back together.

Is anyone else just medicated and then forgotten?
I have
social
anxiety
so bad. To the point of panic attacks, and then self-isolation just to avoid having to deal with people and the entire situation. I feel like people are talking about me and watching me, which makes me stutter and fumble things with my hands.

Exercising
I have major
anxiety
in
social
situations which has made it hard for me to venture out. I also have depression so I am trying to get out and go to the gym to help, but also get some exposure therapy. Does anyone have any advice about going to the gym and how to get through the anxiety?

Guilt
I could have still gone as I had everything ready but I let my
social
anxiety
prevent me from making the effort. I used the time as an excuse not to go. I feel guilty because my
social
anxiety
is affecting my son.

Can I have Friends??
Having
social
anxiety
make worse to make friends. I really have noone to talk. I feel so lonely and depressed. I have tried to make friends but ended up being alone. Leaving all the mess of my life aside; Right now what I really need is a friend. Someone to talk with.

Regret going to group therapy. Overwhelmed, another day wasted and money wasted. Why do all my attempts to get help backflip?
I totally loved my past support group (the one that was about
social
anxiety
and disbanded because of
social
anxiety
. I liked the people more, they weren't so pushy because they were socially anxious like me, they were my age, their illness was like mine).

Newbie
I struggle with motivation to go to the gym because of
social
anxiety
and I honestly think working out is a boring task to complete. As far as my diet, I have a weakness for tacos and margaritas, but I limit that to once a week most times.

so depressed and over living this way
I wish I was smarter I wish I didn’t have
social
anxiety
it’s held me back from so much. I feel I don’t have much of a purpose and it’s so hard to even get out of bed most days.

2017 all over again
I tried breaking this cycle in 2017 and now I'm back where I started, man mental health and depression is a lonely cycle and now I'm dealing with people stalking my house. Fighting so hard to keep myself in a positive space, but the environment as well as this day and age we're living in is very tough

Using L-Tyrosine with Fluoxetine (Prozac)?
hello new member here. I’ve recently been prescribed Fluoxetine 20mg and was just wondering if it’s fine to take with 500mg L-Tyrosine thanks? After doing a bit of research it seems Fluoxetine increases serotonin levels in the brain but does absolutely nothing for Dopamine levels which is why I would

Pressure & anxiety
I also have
social
anxiety
but it was always possible to get up and go out. I have an exam period coming up but it’s impossible to focus on studying. The pressure of that also triggered this intense panic attack. I feel like I can’t take any pressure whatsoever right now.

Will I ever heal myself?
[i]My
social
anxiety
makes me sit and overthink every single thing. I feel abandoned and not worth. Seems like everyone is leaving me even my loved ones. I tried everything that I can do to heal myself but can't even make a small change.I feel like my family is getting fed up of me.

I think I vocalized my intrusive thoughts out loud and that people heard it
Since then, I have really lost my confidence and my self image feels tarred, so the intrusive thoughts have started again every day ☹️ Then I think it happened to me in the restroom, while I was washing my hands and I had

mothering with mental illness
I developed bad
social
anxiety
but felt better after I would cancel plans. Then in June of this year I had a long stomach bug and began having panic attacks, I lost my sense of self, didn’t connect to my family for days. It was really scary!

Wellbutrin
Hi, I'm new to the community. I have been on Wellbutrin/Bupropion since 2020. I feel like it may not be working as well. Is anyone else taking this and if so, have you had success? I have depression and anxiety and wonder if I need another prescription. Thanks
