Desperate for answers
Logic tells me I must face my fear of
social
situations and failure, in order for the
anxiety
to diminish, slowly but surely, in order to have the normal life that I want.

Medication change
Initially got on it for
social
anxiety
, stuttering, finding words, energy, organization, concentration, but had to get off "cold turkey". Doc prescribed Lexapro. On day 2, I slept 20 of 24 hours, felt sick, no energy, (could not even lift my hands/arms off my lap).

I believe I have social anxiety and I'd really just like to share my struggles.
First of all, anyone who has
social
anxiety
, how do you cope? How do you handle
social
situations like proms or a night out with friends? Do you take medication and how much does it really help? What are some personal tips you have for managing it?

SELF INFLICTED IBS
My physician suggested I speak with a psychologist regarding my extreme
anxiety
issues. I have medical and
social
anxiety
. This I knew but could not control. After a horrible year in 2014 it escalated to the point I was scared.

Hello, i'm new here.
It is effecting every aspect in my life (school, work, relationships, etc.) and I fear it is turning into a form of
social
anxiety
now. I used to be so outgoing, - wanting to be around friends/family all the time and now all I want to do is isolate myself.

New Here - Pure O, Harm OCD, Intrusive Thoughts History. Just Restarted Clomipramine After Relapse.
The one good thing I will say about the Fluvoxamine was that it was the first time my
social
anxiety
and sweating improved, but after last night that’s nowhere near enough. I hope my post might help others also. Kind Regards.

Sibling won't give my friends a chance
I understand that she does have some
social
anxiety
, but I just feel like she's being really unfair towards me and my friends.

Advice?
Recently I I had made a post saying that I'm slowly improving with my
social
anxiety
but I'm not quite there yet I'm still quiet and I want to be able to be myself around the people I hang around with, without the feeling of being judged.

Autumn
I love autumn. Pumpkin, cloves, campfires, and the smell of hay sate my aromatherapy needs. I can walk angst free through the forest without reptile-induced apprehension. I am chilly today and happily anticipating the unpacking of my favorite fisherman knit sweaters and boots, but at the same time, I

i don't know how to even go on anymore
I've tried speaking to someone - CAMHS diagnosed me with
Social
Anxiety
but eventually discharged me after I couldn't attend sessions (they were also aware of other things going on, such as me questioning whether my life was worth living) and don't really seem to care, they missed a few months of appointments

Citalopram
Hi all, My boyfriend has been suffering with Generalised
anxiety
disorder which progressed into
social
anxiety
disorder. It has been really hard as a girlfriend to watch him deteriorate. He was put on citalopram and he took it for 5 months.

Your anxiety is perfectly normal.
Sensitised nerves cause the symptoms of anxiety we know only too well: panic attacks, health
anxiety
, feelings of imminent death and
social
anxiety
. Then fear enters the equation causing even more nervous sensitisation. And depression too: we become depressed about our anxiety.

Hyperthyroid crisis relief
I took him to A and E where he suffered an acute bout of
social
anxiety
and refused to stay. I got him home and managed to get some emergency meds via the Gp and local pharmacy. He has taken his medication now for about four weeks constant and i can already see improvements.
