No sleep for the wicked
I’ve barely been sleeping as of lately & when I do I have terrible vivid dreams. Last night I only was able to sleep an hour before waking up in a pool of sweat & feeling super anxious.

I’m so confused
Hello, I have suffered with bad
social
anxiety
for 10 years. It’s only just recently I have noticed that it is overwhelmingly bad when I have a ‘day off’. The days I have to go to uni/work I can force myself to get up and get ready, commute, go to the shops and do work.

Worried I might be falling into an eating disorder, but I’m not sure if it’s severe enough that its worth getting help or if I even have one
It still can be stressful though because whenever I have to eat dinner at a
social
event, it can be
anxiety
inducing. At the beginning of this year in January I started losing my period, and I didn’t get it back until the end of April so went 4 full months without a period.

Corporate World
Hi, How do you
social
anxiety
sufferers, handle working in a corporate office? Constantly meetings and interactions? I am extremely tired of the constant drain on my energy. I can’t afford to quit. I can’t afford to have the constant fears of judgement.

Struggling
I feel loved by physical touch (not like sexual) but have been single for a couple years now, had to move in with my parents because of my illness, and my
social
anxiety
has gotten much worse, so I have a hard time initiating conversation with people.

Homeless, Hopeless, Lost: Can Anyone Help?!
I have severe
anxiety
, severe OCD, and
social
anxiety
and none of my family or friends will house me. People are suggesting that I stay at a campground or motel or shelter, but this will only exasperate my mental illnesses.

Searching for a safe place to be vulnerable.
I am craving connection big time, but my
social
anxiety
is a major barrier to this. I want to put myself out there and meet people, but talking to people makes me nervous. I get sweaty, my throat gets tight, I don't know what to do with my hands so they usually end up in my pockets.

Obsessive brain tortures me
I’ve had a few good days, but I’m concerned that the bad feelings will come back. The sane, rational part of me says, “Yes, they will. Bad feelings come to everybody sometimes. But feelings are not facts. And they usually don’t last for very long (it just seems like they do.)” I think part of the problem

Can I get therapy for social anxiety without a formal diagnosis?
I’ve never been formally diagnosed with
social
anxiety
but I’m 99% sure I have it. I found a great therapy center but I’m afraid they won’t be willing to help me if I don’t have a formal diagnosis. If I do need one how do I go about doing that?

16 year old with anxiety, newly diagnosed with ADHD inattentive - seeking advice
Now at 16 it is solely
social
anxiety
- worries about what peers think of him, losing friends, being alone. During first semester of 9th grade his
social
anxiety
worsened and we hesitantly started him on low dose Paxil. We all noticed a positive change, less anxious talk and behaviors.

I’m new here, seeking support for my struggles with depression and anxiety.
I've been struggling at first with
social
anxiety
which started on my 6th Grade when one of the Teacher pointed at me angry in front of about 30 of his students though i didn't do anything wrong. And there my nightmare started, seems like all things i'm at were troubles.

Job interviews with social anxiety—any advice?
So, I’m lucky in that I have a really supportive family and I’m not desperate for a job right now, but I happened across this notice the other day that this coffee shop I go to is holding open interviews on Monday, no resumes needed. And I’m thinking about interviewing on Monday. Just trying it. I don

PTSD
I had to give notice in my cleaning job as I am suffering from
social
anxiety
and depression. I am struggling to get up in a morning and am trying to sleep all day to get away from the trauma. I am keeping myself busy by doing my education.
