ANXIETY MEDICATION
I suffer with
Social
Anxiety
and GAD and have done for 20 years. I have tried different medications but some work for a few years then I have to change for something else as they are no longer working. I have no social life as I get panic attacks even at the thought of socialising with friends.

Random wave of depression and sadness
So I decided to walk to Starbucks and order myself a drink as an
anxiety
exposure. Due to my
social
anxiety
these small things can be difficult. I ordered an iced coffee but no food because I was too anxious to make a decision on what to eat and if I wanted to spend money on it.

treatment resistant
Diagnosed with Depression, cyclothymia (a mild form of bi polar) and
anxiety
, including
social
anxiety
. My question is, meds have never worked for me. I get small windows of days and some times weeks of feeling good and productive ,then spiral downwards. At a very low point now and can’t function.

I need a diagnosis / assessment uk
It was suggested after my autism assessment that perhaps I have a
social
anxiety
disorder, or a personality disorder. How do I go about getting a full and proper assessment? I’m tired of making my best guess at what’s wrong and want to know so I can get proper treatment.

Hello!
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

anxiety
along with Bipolar. He doesn't leave the house and lives with us.

So yah…
My boss has been discriminating against me, based on my
social
anxiety
. I suck at my job and I constantly fuck up. It’s just hard because I’m trying so hard but it’s not enough. My family will be disappointed, I don’t know.

Feeling alone, In need of a friend
For the last couple of months, I have been dealing with major depression, anxiety and loneliness. I have really been struggling to make it through each day. A few days ago I came close to taking my life because I didn't want to continue to experience those feelings. I don't feel like I can talk to anyone

Feeling crazy, need to vent
I'm constantly wondering why I have panic disorder and
social
anxiety
when others do not when I'm always working on myself and my health. How is it that I've been dealing with this for nearly 15 yrs.

Disability
I've been looking for other jobs but with
social
anxiety
and ADHD, finding something that doesn't freak me out is hard. Has anyone had to file disability due to the ADHD diagnosis? I'm afraid of what to do if I can't find/hold a job. Thanks all.
