well they are SUPPOSE to....sounds like you have what I have....im not shy...I just have really bad social anxiety....like going to the mall by yourself...or sometimes hanging out with friends...goin to parties..shit like that...I just can't handle it

 

Talk to your GP. He/she should know of a few that they have had good luck with.

 

Well there's this whole chicken or the egg argument.


Did social anxiety cause problems with social situations/public places?

or

Did problems regarding social situations/public places cause anxiety?


The ongoing trend in medicine is to treat the symptoms. Ergo, treat the anxiety. But the only real way to grow from being an anxious/depressed mess is to treat the cause(s) of the symptoms. Treating both at the same time is quicker.

And this isn't a huge breakthrough. There's a lot wrong with the healthcare industry.

 

My pills don't make me hallucinate, I would like them better if they did...unless they're the scary kind of hallucinations. Maybe I'm better off just being :crazyr:

 

No, when I was hallucinating I was seeing the scariest shit my mind could develop. I couldn't sleep because it was disturbing.

 

those werent hallucinations, I really was bending your sister over the bathtub.

 

I was on pills for insomnia, anger management, bi-polar disorder, depression, and OCD. The pills didn't even work because they all had different effects so after taking how every man I had to through out the day by the time it was said and done I just felt sick. So I just stopped taking them one day and I'm doing a lot better.

 

Because you can't make grilled cheese manwishes?

 

never had that reaction when I was on paxil for depression years ago.

 

Now I'm depressed.
