Should I ask to go on medication for my social anxiety?

2016-02-16 8:53 am
I have had social anxiety for about 6 years now but it's only been really bad for about 2. I don't trust my friends, or anyone really, constantly think about what others are thinking of me, have panic attacks quite regularly and am too scared to hang out or even talk with someone I don't really know unless I'm drunk. I go to my school physiatrist and have for about a year now and have tried everything she's asked me to do (meditation, fitness, focusing on breathing, teas, good sleep etc) but it just seems to be getting worse. I was wondering about your opinion because this I ruining my friendships and social life apart from when I'm drinking, which I don't think is good to rely on. Thanks :)

Absolutely; tell a dr. about all this. He will know what meds will help.

Most of all, STOP DRINKING. Alcohol is a depressant, so you are just making yourself worse by drinking it. It also destroys your brain.

So that psychiatrist isn't much use for you? Tea anyone? You can't trust everyone,but there are people you can trust. I wonder what you were like 6 years ago? Did something negative happen what changed your view in human kind? And the alcohol is not really helping you because this can make you more anxious in the long run. If you're 18 or over I might be able to help you.

no fucing way. they wont help you. it will be a placebo only. try a book. they helped me alot with my sociality. and now im next to a psycopath because i have no fear or filter. i do weird sht that makes people say omg.


one of the books i read once from shy to social by alan garner.


like im really crazy now i talked to my mom about how she had sex to create us. and shes never in 20 years talked to us about sex at all. i bet she next to shat her pants. but she deflected the conversation.




also i want to mention this. if youre an introvert by nature youll probably be one for life. but by increasing your social capacity by practice and these books, you may find new love for people and become more of an ambivert. youll be able to talk to people and associate with people without problems. thats what happened to me anyways.
