Fear of forming friendships, social anxiety
I do this in every workplace I'm in - I start getting along with someone, we have great time together (at work, never outside of it), then they eventually start calling me a friend and ask for more time together outside of work and BOOM. I panic, I see it as an inconvenience, I decline every single invitation

Medication assistance for extreme social anxiety
I have suffered with
social
anxiety
for 30 years. It has always been an issue. At 21 I was put on various anti depressants including 12 years on Prozac combined with propranolol. For a time I felt invincible but this then faded.

Anxiety and suicidal ideation
My anxiety has been extremely high for months now and as it’s mostly related to work Sundays are the worst but really every day is horrible. I can deal with the depression okay but the anxiety really makes me want to kill my self (I’m safe tho). I just can’t take the constant urges to not exist they

Battling
social
anxiety
has bern a tough ride, and I just continue to fall and cant take it anymore. It's hard not to cry sometimes... I get waves of depression, feeling what's the purpose of my existence, wanting to end my life at the same time scared of dying old age and death.

Social anxiety ??
It has been a while since I have gone out to a club due to the fact that I stopped occasionally drinking. Tonight I went to a club for my cousin’s birthday and I had to cut my night short . I was dancing and before I knew it my heart started racing and I began to panic. This never used to happen to

I am excited but also a little nervous, since i have never been on any medication daily for my
anxiety
, depression, panic attacks and
social
phobia. Has or does anyone take this? What is or was your experience on it?

Getting worried
Im 34 weeks now and I’m so scared of not making it out on the other side in other words dying during labour, I have
social
anxiety
and I’m lying in bed In tears I’m afraid I’m never going to see my baby grow up and not seeing my precious partner ever again. My heart is going so fast.

Kate Spade
*trigger warning!!! Has anyone had a hard time with the Kate Spade news? I have never “follwed” her, had any of her products, but appreciated her artistry. I don’t know why, but I feel obsessive reading about what the heck happened to her? What pushes a person to that end at 55? I have some bizarre thought

To Go or Not to go? Could this end up a positive “lab experiment” for me?
Instead of giving a BS shallow answer I’d like to say, “Well, I had a great job working in a college art department and just got laid off, which hurts. 24/7 I’m quite challenged with depression and I suffer from
social
anxiety
.”

I'm scared
I dont know what Triggers my anxiety . I'll be eating with my family and out of nowhere I start feeling hot like Adrenaline running through my body . I can't even be around my own daughter. What are some anxiety relief techniques I could do.

Severe Social Phobia
I have PTSD with bipolar and
anxiety
. Lately I developed a debilitating
social
anxiety
where I do not interact with anyone at work except to ask questions. Everyone is socializing (it is a very chatty place) and I just stand around looking like an idiot with nothing to say.

Recovering
Losing him has made me confront my own depression and
social
anxiety
, which I've tried to undermine for about 15 years. I'm finally seeing a therapist who I feel safe with, I'm off all medications, and I've stopped drinking within the past year.

Severe social anxiety and depression
I have severe
social
anxiety
. It’s very hard for me to leave my house and feel comfortable. I am very depressed and have completely shut everyone out since I’ve started this latest bout of existential depression about 2 years ago.
