Anxiety and depression
When I was a teenager it would appear as a
social
anxiety
. I managed to find my way through it in my twenties but I realized that it never really disappeared. Being uncomfortable in groups was just how it was for me. Depression has periodically been around for a few years.

Attacked by my support group
I deal with a lot of
social
anxiety
so I wasn't comfortable speaking my advice, and it took a while to muster up the courage to type a message. By the time I figured out how to say what I wanted to say, the group had moved onto the next woman and her topic.

I have been struggling with my
social
anxiety
, depression, low esteem and loneliness since I was 9. I have trouble to make any friends because I’m afraid of being judged, come across being awkward/weird/dumb, and accidentally being rude to people. I usually spending time alone all of my life.

Social Anxiety, GAD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks.
Just a chat- I do not conversate too much and not long. With my family too. Not just socially. My husband does the talking for me usually. I have been married for a lot of years too. I wish I could do it. I can't explain well at all. It gets a mixed up and I leave out important details to make sense.

Life after meds?
Hello. I was on antidepressants and stimulants for nearly 30 years. I chose to discontinue Cymbalta last August based on the lack of evidence of its effectiveness for long term use or how it affects the aging brain. Looking back, I still experienced many bouts of severe depression even while taking it

Nose question
I know this sounds really stupid but this evening I've developed a tingle / tickle to the outside of my left nostril. Originally I thought it was a hair perhaps attached to my glasses that was tickling, but it wasn't. I do have anxiety but have felt fairly relaxed today. Thank you

suicidal ideation
I’m in depression recovery but trip and fall at times and it’s usually a hard fall. I just really feel useless and a bother. Nothing I say or do is right. I have no one to talk to besides my therapist because I have no friends and my small family are the people who say shit to remind me that I fucked

new to this support group
I live in the US, i have been looking for a support group for people with major depression. it seems like the general population can't relate to my feelings, and the need to take antidepressants. I am currently back on Venlafaxine which i stopped about 4 months ago. it's been 8 weeks that i am back on

Ongoing anxiety-need suggestions
The
anxiety
also turns into
social
anxiety
, so it is difficult and painful to interact with people socially. My therapist might refer me to a therapist who does EMDR. Does anyone have experience with this? Does anyone have any other suggestions for what I’m going through right now?

Anxiety and Depression going to Wife Too Much for reassurance
On top of all this I have
social
anxiety
that is keeping me for wanting to leave the house. I feel I don’t fit in and am quite where I go. I can’t seem to get small talk with people and jus always feel uncomfortable. I think people think I am weird but the probably don’t even care.

Feeling grumpy and frustrated
But I have such crippling
social
anxiety
that simple tasks like talking on the phone and making small talk at work totally send me into a mental spiral. I don't know how to connect with people, it's almost like some kind of disability. Another huge source of angst is my job.

Help please
And I have bad
social
anxiety
- interacting with others is so painful and uncomfortable. I’ve started having suicidal thoughts and they really scare me. My therapist said he’s thinking about referring me to another therapist who she’s EMDR. Does anyone have experience with this?

As a person whose
social
anxiety
prevented college and career and even regular work for several years, this is huge. I can do this. You can do it too.
