I have all the symptoms of social anxiety disorder and deppression and I’m not really sure where to go so I can see if I actually have them.. I keep telling my parents about it and they keep insisting that there is nothing wrong with me and that i’ll just grow out of it but I’d prefer to see a professional just to check. Thanks xx
I hate when people say it’s nothing and it will go away, as if 8 years of waiting for was not enough, Make an appointment with your Doctor, tell him how you feel, how it has been affecting your daily life and routine, like school, eating, socializing, using the phone, speaking to strangers, staying at home to avoid others etc. He willa sk you questions and discuss treatments. Take that step, believe me you will not regret it. all the best.
Ok, Im just discussing the topics of Anxiety disorders, Social Anxiety Disorders…and such and how it relates to me;D
Alright so, Im not sure if I have social anxiety or not but I do tend to overthink everything a lot. I used to walk in the hallways really fast and everytime someone came up to me to talk; I was really afraid. I was always by myself. I would come home and sit alone. I hardly ever talk to anyone. I didnt know what was wrong with me. ANd I get really insecure when people look at me and I always have this tendency that people will come up and say something mean to me. I just dont know what would happen to me if I dont talk. I actually like to talk. I dont know If I really do have social anxiety disorder or not. Trying to figure out right now. How you think it is. Well, I always have this feeling that people will leave me. That I am not a good enough friend or people dont want to be my friend. If I have friends, I tend to be more outgoing and open to talking. ANd also if something happens, I dont want to go after it. Other symptoms related to it. Cannot do things by myself. Need help from my mother. ALways so self-conscious about my looks and everything. Always wanting to look a certain way. Also, I think social anxiety disorder is also related to other disorders; General anxiety disorder. ALso related to growing up. It can also be diagnosed as an anxiety disorder some people who think too much think it is an social anxiety disorder. ALways self-conscious about things, overthink everything, if my friends like me. Yeah Basically cant do anything myself. You guys ever feel like that. Worthless or useless. Thought of comfort and be able to socializ…very affecting in a way…

My family always laughs if i get embarrassed or nervous. I have been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder by a therapist and they still don’t believe in it. Inside, it’s killing me. I have no support and people just take it as a joke? Why is that?
It’s hard for them to understand something that they haven’t experienced……therefore they are very insensitive.
If I had to choose one word to describe social anxiety disorder, it would be fear.

I’ve been dealing with SAD for a long time. I’ve recently decided that I was going to overcome this fear, one way or another.
I know I’m not the only one who deals with it. Maybe, in a way, I want you know your not alone. It feels like it though. So I’m talking about it for the first time.
Its hard to get over, this thing, but I’m gonna do it.

Borderline seems like a different syndrome than Social Anxiety disorder. Some people may have both but not all… Can anyone else elaborate on the differences?
They are completely different disorders although anxiety is a feature of both.
BPD:
* Self-harm (for example, cutting yourself) or repeated attempts or expressions of the desire to commit suicide. This behaviour can only be counted as one of the criteria for diagnosis; it can’t be counted again as demonstrating any of the other symptoms. (See Mind’s booklet Understanding self-harm)
* Frantic efforts to avoid being alone, due to an intense fear of being abandoned. Others may not see this fear as justified, but you may go to great lengths to avoid being alone. For example, you may say that you will harm someone if they leave.
* A pattern of unstable and intense relationships. Feelings often alternating between idolising the other person and then thinking they are really awful.
* A very uncertain, shaky self-image or sense of self. You may feel good whilst you feel loved by someone you think is wonderful. If you later see them as bad, your own sense of self could be affected. You may also have doubts about your sexual identity.
* Two or more areas of your life where your behaviour could cause you harm and be seen as impulsive. Examples would be: spending money extravagantly and having huge debts, having unprotected sex, abusing drugs or alcohol, driving without due care, or binge-eating. (See Mind’s booklet Understanding eating distress.) You may do these things because you’re trying to deal with awful feelings of pain or emptiness.
* You may have moods that are very difficult to come out of. For example, you may go through long periods (usually lasting a few hours) of extreme irritability, restlessness, unhappiness or anxiety.
* Terrible feelings of emptiness.
* Anger that’s inappropriate, intense or difficult to control. You may lose your temper a great deal, experience constant anger or be involved in physical fights. You may feel particularly angry when you think you’re being criticised. Anger is often a very difficult feeling for people to acknowledge and deal with, but may cause particular problems in the life of someone diagnosed with BPD. (See How to deal with anger.)
*
Periods of paranoia or feeling unreal when under stress. This might be accompanied by an almost complete lack of physical sensation. At difficult times, you may experience yourself as having more than one personality or feel you are in a trance-like state.
I have finally admitted to myself that I have social anxiety disorder. It has kept me from having any kind of social or dating life. I have it bad. I need to know if there is any kind of medicine that can help me act like a normal 22-year old male.
Awh AJ, I’m so sorry you’re going throught this. I do too, and can really relate to and understand it, The thing I find that works for me is just getting out there (cold turkey), meeting people, being ‘myself’ and believing that I am on level with these ppl. I know the ease of mind doesn’t happen instantly but in time you’ll feel wanted, desired, needed (These feelings help more than anything) Getting over it is not that simple either, that’s just a minute part of it. You’ve just got to realise your importance and worth in this world, not only that, but if you could see yourself the way others see you.. you would really love yourself for who you are. Please see
that "why be him, when you can be the best so easily?!"
Email me to discuss your feelings more. I feel exactly the way that you do now. I have good days and bad days. Some days I think I’V conquered it and then the next day I’m back where I started… but with a bit of communication from my nearest and dearest, it really helps. I don’t have them everyday though so I need to get over it, help myself. Pls email me, Rly want to
talk to you. I know you see it as a huge thing! Well of course it
is,it’s YOU. I do too sometimes, but with a bit of confidence and a positive outlook, you can easily get over it and happily express yourself. email me. Love Caz xoxo
