Anyone else have social anxiety disorder???!
Question: Yes. I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It's ruined most of my teen and adult life. I see a therapist and am currently on medication. One day at a time is all you can do. I wish you well.

I got extream Anxiety Disorder!
It is hard to live with but i m getting through it!
I have something like that, although I am not diagnosed. I don't get out of the house much. My husband keeps telling me to join a community aerobics class (as a treatment for my condition and my flabby ***). I guess I must.
This is very common. What ever you do don't let your general doctor put you on meds untill you have a mental health evaluation and you have seen a psychologist. Best wishes.
sure, but with meds and therapy I can go pretty much anywhere now.
Hi--yes, I have social anxiety disorder (social phobia) as well as depression. They have both really screwed my life up. I am always afraid of embarrasing myself and being evaluated negatively & crap like that. I can't go to school, I do online school. I have had many, many suicidal attempts and thoughts. It has been hard growing up w/o friends and my mom being an alcoholic, but I am thankful now that she is sober. When I get really bad, I am put into inpatient instead of the usual outpatient therapy once a week. Last year, I was in the same inpatient unit (lock-down) 3 times, once for 5 nights, once for 26 nights, and another time for 14 nights. I also went to a residential treatment facility in Wisconsin for 38 nights. That really sucked, though it wasn't exactly lock-down. Medications have been really hard. I have been on so many. My story could go on & on....
Good Luck & Take Care. =)
