debon.alana asked: In Highschool I was very outgoing. I liked to joke around and was probably kind of mean in someways. I was comfortable with myself. I didn’t have a problem interacting with people I didn’t know very well at all. I really didn’t care too much what others thought.
Now, nearing 10 years later I find myself the opposite. I am too focused on not looking/sounding stupid that my attention goes to myself which ultimately makes me do rather “air-headish” things and sound like an airhead (perhaps I really am but I doubt to this extent). I don’t like to be in crowds or in social settings where everyone knows each other and I am the stranger. I am pretty sure my social skills have eroded because of this as well.
Basically, I am watching everything I do and looking at how others will see it and how they are reacting. Thats my main focus while everything around me is a lesser priority. I can’t figure out a way to stop this.
Sometimes it doesn’t bother me at all but for the most part it does. There are a lot of other details that I can provide if anyone needs but I am just looking for anyone that has dealt with this personally or knows someone close that has dealt with this. Basically for any information regarding it and how to deal, beat, cure, etc it.
I would like to avoid medications if possible but I realize it is a strong possibility. I imagine I am only truly myself a very small fraction of the time in anyone else’s presence.

LAME! asked: I’ve recently taken on anxiety and depression because of school. I have nightmares about school all the time now, and i just get this scared feeling in my gut about school and stressing out. I’m so tired of feeling so scared all the time. I feel like my case of anxiety depression is different from everyone else and that it can’t be cured with meds. Is there hope for me? I just want to feel like there’s someone out there who could help me.

Heather asked:
I think it is anxiety. But I really don’t wanna get more pills unless it is the last option I have. Is there something else that I can do first before I try going towards the pills or therapy?

Hi, I suffer moderately with anxiety and panic attacks. My father suffers very very bad and is on a concoction of pills. Which aren’t really helping him. Would anyone recommend it? I’d love to see him cured.

Appel asked: It has been explained to me that people with depression and anxiety (like me) have some type of chemical (serotonin) imbalance in thier brain. And just like people with diabetes need insulin, people with depression and anxiety need SSRIs.
Does this mean it is impossible to help depression and anxiety without medication?
What do you think of therapists who think SSRIs are the only form of treatment?

southpark asked:
A cure for Panic Disorder? And by cure, I mean a way for doctors to be able to correct the chemical imbalances in us other than through meds. I want to be able to have anxiety and panic, but not to the extend of a panic attack or the excessive worrying.
