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?
