Hi, I just joined the site after getting the info from a crisis counselor. I’m hoping to be able to connect with people when I am feeling anxious or depressed, rather than some of my less desireable coping mechanisms, like self-harm and suicidal ideation. Is that an ok use of this service?

I can't give up
I suffer from
social
anxiety
and depression. Everyday is a challenge and it's seems no one around me will ever understand it or be supportive about it. I feel my life is just slipping further and further away no matter how hard I try to change it.

Like others, I suffer with
social
anxiety
and have my fair share of fears. I’ve always felt alone with this. But then I also thought there’s got to be others out there like me. And this site has proven that to me. Thank you all for your support.

I Hate Birthdays. I Can't Keep Doing This Any Longer.
But my
social
anxiety
got worse in high school. I got addicted to drugs in college and wasted my twenties high. I'm 36 and never before been in a relationship. I'm no closer to achieving that goal. I tried moving to a different city to start over.

Depressed
Not to mention my severe
social
anxiety
doesn't help . Talking to a therapist isn't sn option for financial reasons and I have no time 😔

I'm 23 and frustrated
I feel like a ghost I am signed up for this cosmetology program but my
social
anxiety
plus my mood swings and my depression have not helped me get up and out of bed. My parents hate me because j can't decide on anything in my life. I used to have good grades. I had a 4.0 in high school.

New to this type of support
I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago with both generalized and
social
anxiety
disorder. Even now, I have a really hard time talking to people about my diagnosis or my feelings about the diagnosis without becoming very emotional.

Starting New Meds
Finally! After being on the same Anti-Depressant - Effexor for over 8 years and it not really working for the last 2 years my newer Dr. has started me on Cymbalta. I am hoping this helps, I have heard good things about Cymbalta from people I know that suffer the same issues that I do but I have also

A Sad Trip Down Memory Lane
Perhaps that’s the root of my
social
anxiety
. I had it then. I have it now. I took my 42 year old yearbook down to the recycling center and got rid of it for good. Wow, did that feel empowering! Why look at something that only brings back pain?

My social anxiety makes me think about suicide
I grew up in foster care and have had a crappy life and I try to put that behind me, but my
social
anxiety
reminds me because I’m like this because of what I went through. I tried medications, but the weight gain just gave me more reason to be embarrassed which fuels my self hatred.

Ugh help me
Anyone have
social
anxiety
of seeing certain people in public ? I really struggle with this and I’m supposed to go to this summer school thing since last week but haven’t because of anxiety and idk what to do. It’s like consistent anxiety about seeing people for no reason at all. Any advice or help?

Introducing myself
That was pretty much the first time I'd heard of
social
anxiety
and things began to fall into place regarding mood swings and terrible rage and anger that only seemed bearable with alcohol or drugs.

Unable to work
Just over the past month I had to take leave from my job due to
anxiety
and depression, especially
social
phobia. I was unable to interact with any of my coworkers. Does anyone here have such an extreme problem of not feeling you can work due to
anxiety
and
social
phobia?

I stopped the pristiq 5 days ago and still having the sweating but I think it takes at least 2 weeks for withdrawal. Some say it can take years but I'm just going

Day brought completely down because of possible new diagnosis
How do you deal with
social
anxiety
? and how do you cope with
social
anxiety
? Any tips would be appreciated especially regarding coping with it besides drugs, cutting, or alcohol.
