My social anxiety hell is making me depressed?
July 25th, 2010
I have social anxiety (commonly known as social phobia). Many people don’t believe it as being real, but I can 100% assure you it is.
I went to a walk in clinic for help and cried but received little help. It took me 5-6 years to get to that stage and feel failed by the system. I was given a leaflet explaining what social phobia was. — Obviously i know what I feel inside, this leaflet simply confirmed it.
So tomorrow I am calling my doctor and will tell him my problem, if I still manage to in the morning that is.
I am so desperate for help I can’t explain. I rate my condition around a 7-8/10. It prevents me doing things in day to day life. stops me getting jobs, presenting in class, speaking on the phone…. so many things!
I cannot afford to pay for help but feel there should be a loophole to help me. I want to work! I want to speak my mind!
I just want to know if anyone has ever been cured from it. What will the doctor do for me? how long will it take…. can he fix me?

The only thing a doctor is going to do it put some pills in you which is really not a good idea because in the long run, it will make you worse and worse. I have this problem except much worse. I almost killed myself 3 times due to depression from social anxiety. I didn’t eat for a month because i was afraid that i would eat and than i would have to talk to people and i would throw up so i figured to prevent that, i would just not eat. The second time, i cut myself so deep i was slowly bleeding to death, and the third time, i tried to hang myself. Seriously, i do not have issues now, i am getting over my anxiety but my method will probably seem really stupid to you. I will tell you what it is anyways though because clearly i know exactly what you are talking about and how you feel. Here is the website you can go on to learn about my method…
