Hi everyone. I'm Nancy and I have been depressed and anxious for years. Although I now have 3 years sobriety, I still struggle daily. Some days I can barely manage to get out of bed and get through the day. Currently see a therapist weekly and take Cymbalta 120mg daily. Looking forward to getting some

Neurologist or psychiatrist?
Up until five years ago my antidepression medication was prescribed by a psychiatrist. Five years ago I started seeing a neurologist for my major depressive disorder. He prescribed Viibryd and I have been on it ever since. I see him three times a year and each time I see him, I let him know about my

what's wrong with me?
I had a vitamin D deficiency and I was also previously diagnosed with
social
anxiety
, but I feel that might not be the case. I've read articles about it and I find it hard to relate with other people's experiences and I've realised most symptoms don't apply to me.

Social Anxiety
People have accused me of isolating but really I get super anxious in social situations, even if it’s a short one! I tend to keep to myself to “protect my peace” sort of speak but I feel like it’s borderline unhealthy. Anyone else struggle with this?

Hi, I’m new here.
Has anyone advice on supplements to help with depression? I have the sadness, low energy, low motivation type. I’ve tried St. John’s Wort and Sam-e, but neither have helped. I also take 5-HTP and melatonin to aid in sleep. (I cannot take prescription antidepressants due to eye side effects that

Help
I suffer from
social
anxiety
and it’s recently been worse than ever. I feel like I can’t cope anymore, I haven’t told anyone in my life about it and I feel it’s eating me up. Should I tell someone? I wouldn’t know who to tell. I’m afraid to say something.

Social anxiety - food
Hi, I have no formal diagnosis but I feel I have elements of
social
anxiety
. Eating in public is my biggest issue. I find it extremely difficult to successfully finish a full meal in front of people I know or don’t know, completely depending on who the company may be.

Social Anxiety in College
I was looking for an online (free) way to cope with and try to fix my
social
anxiety
. I am in my second year of university (undergrad) and I am struggling. I literally have no friends. I think my "friends" from high school only hang out with me because they feel obligated to.

This is my first post.. thanks for listening
I’ve been sober from alcohol for 19 months and this past week it’s been very clear to me that
social
anxiety
was the cornerstone of my addiction... it’s keeping me back from every aspect of my life.. I finally started dating in sobriety and I can’t believe the fear and
anxiety
this has aroused.

Horrible intrusive thoughts
I have OCD, severe

social
anxiety
and depression. I keep constantly getting intrusive thoughts popping into my head. I won't go into too much detail cos I hate myself enough as it is for thinking of it.

Very suicidal
I'm dealing with borderline personality disorder, severe depression and high anxiety. No one at all understands even a fraction of what I'm going through. My married children have basically banned me from their lives and so has the rest of my family. They don't take responsibility for hurting me and

Feeling empty
I have struggled with depression and
social
anxiety
my entire life. I just feel like I don’t belong and I’m so miserable. If anyone has advice or would like to talk to me, I’d love that.

How do you know it’s social anxiety vs. Being introverted
I’ve always been quiet and shy and now that I’m in my 30s I’m unsure whether I have
social
anxiety
or I’m an introvert or if introverts have
social
anxiety
. I don’t like being one on one with people I don’t know well or coworkers.

Confused about stuff
Hello, I need help in knowing if I have
social
anxiety
or not. When I tell my mum about my inability to communicate with others in a normal way, she always says that it is just a phase.
