Chuck asked:
I recently found out that the reason I’m such a social anxiety freak and why I can’t cope with girls is becuase when I was a yound boy in my first grades I-IV I was always beeing laugh at by girls. Later on in IV-VIII grades I also experienced stuff like that. I was a very young child and was very closed in myself. Now I feel fear and anxiety.

jsh321s asked: I am pretty sure that i suffer from social anxiety. I have a hard time being around people in general. Especially those my own age (I’m 15). Its been getting to them point that if i go in a store I avoid people as much as possible because it could cause me to hyperventilate if I don’t. Does anyone have any ways i can cure myself from this?
p.s I rather not tell my parents about this. I hide it as well as I can

bamafleck asked: I stuggle with anxiety. I worry about stuff all the time that’s really stupid to even think about. It’s really bad when I have to meet new people or walk in front of a crowd. I have no reason to be insecure, but I am. How did you get past this? I hear xanax works, but I know benzos are addictive. Is there any way without medication. Self-help books don’t work for me. This really holds me back from doing the stuff I want to accomplish. Personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Missy A asked: For the past fifteen years I have been under a doctors care, on a different variety of medications and have had numerous counseling sessions with an array of psychiatrists/psychlogists/etc all in hopes of finding an answer to overcoming my extreme social anxiety. So far, though, nothing has helped in the least and I am now at wits end. At one visit to my doctors (quite a few years ago, mind you) he suggested to me that, perhaps, investing in a motorhome (yes, a “homes-on-wheels”, of all things) might be a great option for me as I could use it as a “gateway” for getting myself out of my house and slowly into the world outside (while never really having to leave my comfort zone [ie: "home"] until I felt ready to do so). Well, thinking he was completely off-his-rocker I blew his suggestion off altogether without any consideration whatsoever and now, all these years later, I am wondering if I may have made a big mistake. Coincidentally enough, while browsing the net recently, I happened to stumble upon a site that deals specifically with anxiety disorders and, lo’ and behold, the motorhome idea that my doctor suggested to me so many years ago is of one that is also recommended through this particular website. I was stunned; how the heck can a motorhome possibly help anyone learn to overcome ANY anxiety disorder? Anyway, curiosity got the best of me so I went ahead and did some more research and, to my disbelief, found that not only is this….idea…recommended by my own doctor or by this one particular website but by many other sources as well. According to what I found out, motorhomes can be very beneficial when used as “tools” for those who suffer from disorders/ailments such as social anxiety, agoraphobia, panic attacks, IBS (and more) because, while one is learning to cope with being outside in the world, they are, in a sense, still in the safety of their own “home” while doing so. Supposedly, this “technique” (when used as a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy [CBT]) has proven to be very successful for many sufferers over the past but, since I never took my doctors advice seriously when he first suggested I try it, I never had the opportunity to find out if it would have worked for me. Now, being that I am still stuck at square one with my disorder, I can’t help but wonder if I should maybe go ahead and give the advice my doctor gave me all those years ago a try…today. However, before I just plunk down a wad of cash for something like a motorhome, I thought I’d ask if anyone here has (or knows of anyone else who has) tried this type of “therapy” for themselves and, if they have, how successful was it? I’m not looking for a complete and total cure (that’s like looking for a needle in a haystack), I’m just looking for “something” that will help get me outside of “THIS” house (the one that I reside in) and on my way to finding at least some shred of hope for normalcy in my life. Anyway, if anyone out there has tried it, knows of anyone else who has, or even knows ANYTHING about it, can you please let me know?
Thanks
Sorry coolio, my keyboard is busted so creating paragraphs is not an option for me at this time. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

Scott asked: How do i cure this? i don’t have any healthcare.
things i’ve tried
*Eating right and exercising – made me feel mildly better, but i used it as a stress vent and ended up being anorexic. I stopped caring about my weight a while ago, and reverted back to normal eating and exercising patterns. Failure.
*Drugs – i’m currently drinking bud lite, and smoking newports. they make me feel a bit better, but i’m destroying my body. I can quit them — but i need some sort’ve new vise in order to do so. I also tried Xanax (anti-anxiety pill) and felt good and floaty, but i stopped due to the illegality of bumming it, and the fact that it’s damaging me as bad as alcohol. I don’t want to hurt my body to help my mind….
*Religion – i was born a christian, but i’m currently a Nihilist Atheist…so this option is worthless now.
*Complaining (online) – this has gotten me nowhere, but i still seek help.
*Thinking of ******* – this would end my feelings of sadness, but it wouldn’t give me any feelings of happiness, so it’s a worthless option.
I’m 24 male, and i live in America.
Any advice?
