[rickard]

i have a major problem i am a victim of social anxiety i am so sick of it.... i dont want to care wat other ppl think of me but i do and i cant help it, i isolate myself from ppl. I want to enjoy life but its hard to when ur scared to do something as simple as go into a store or go work out. Im so tired of worrying about things that may not ever happen and i cant stop the suicidal thoughts. When i try to explain wat i am going through they tell me its ok everyone gets nervous and gets scared but its so much more than that they tell me i will get over it but i've been battling this since i can remember and i thought it was normal but its not. i just  want to enjoy life without bein scared of it. im sick off worrying about the stupidest things! if anybody is going through this it would mean alot to me if u could help me with this plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that nobody should have to go through this. It can put our lives on hold. I hate it. I always wanted to go to nursing school and at this point in my life I can't imagine attempting it. I can't even go to the store without feeling freaked out! I know what you mean about being scared to talk to the Dr. I go on Wednesday to see a new pychiatrist. I just hope I can get through it.

I go through the same thing as you. Sorry I can't help you,but just wanted to put my 2 cents in and let you know you are not alone! My problems started after I had a panic attack and the anxiety lingered after so i went to see a pyschiatrist and had a massive panic attack in front of him because I got so nervous. Now I hate to go anywhere so not only do I suffer but my family as well. I have 3 small children and I cant take them to do fun things by myself and I feel so bad.I hope you can find some help. Do you take meds or have you tried therapy?
