My social anxiety hell is making me depressed?

July 25th, 2010

whhhhaaaazzzzuuuuuppppppp asked:


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?

How to help my girlfriend with her panic attacks?

December 2nd, 2009

Jonresan asked:


My girlfriend has panic attacks. Her panic attacks have gotten worse since college started. School work is taking a lot out of her and causing her panic attacks to happen more frequently. I have no background on panic attacks and want to understand them more. I’ve read many things online but i can only learn so much from searching. What should I do? I wanna help my girlfriend.
