Hi Everyone
I have
social
anxiety
and it has changed my life and attitude in so many ways that I don't even recognize the person i used to be. I have been perscribed variuos medications that hve worked for periods of time but always make me feel empty and low. They literally suck the joy out of life.

I'm new here but now I don't feel so alone.
In fact, I have
social
anxiety
. A couple of months ago, I went on vacation with my best friend and traveled around for two weeks. In my head, I knew these were the last days I would spend with him. I was going to walk away and disappear. I couldn't go on seeing him.

social
anxiety
it makes it even more difficult to communicate. The thought of eye contact, alone, is nerve-wracking.

30 year old male. Low self confidence. Anxiety and Depression.
Lately, my
anxiety
has caused me to back out of many
social
gatherings. This had led to me only seeing my family, co-workers and roommate on a regular basis.

Is this the time to change my therapist?
One of my problems with the
anxiety
was my lack of
social
skills and making friends and relationships with girls, He knew that as it was one of the reasons I changed my therapist. he helped me with a lot of subjects but with this, it seems that no one could help, he just keeps telling me to go & to attend

No Appetite on Duloxetine?
I've been on Duloxetine aka cymbalta before. I remember not having a crazy appetite but still being able to eat.

I have had time when i havent been able to order

I got extreme social anxiety around people. Any tips with people with the same issue that has worked for you?
I live in fear in my daily life and afraid of what people think of me. Like years ago I wouldn't care what people thought about me. I just don't wanna suffer from this issue. Especially when I have two kids who are my world.

In need of some support or just someone who can relate.
Obviously because of this my
social
development has become way behind and I suffer with
social
anxiety
. Usually I can keep on top of it and try to push myself out of my comfort zone to do things that need to be done, like visiting the in laws at Christmas.
