Social anxiety? anyone here suffering with it that has tips on how they deal?!
Question: Oh my goodness that is so me and alot of people I've heard of. Social anxiety is like you'd rather stay at home and avoid stressful situations of any kind and people. I like to be alone I'm guessing you too. Symtoms like Excessive, ongoing worry and tension An unrealistic view of problems Restlessness or a feeling of being "edgy" Irritability Muscle tension Headaches Sweating Difficulty concentrating Nausea Tiredness Trouble falling or staying asleep Trembling Being easily startled. Any of that suit you? I recominded a doctor your probably tired of hearing that though so I want to share some of my secrets I take Psychotherapy, Cognitive behavior therapy is the only type of therapy that has been shown to be effective in treating social anxiety disorder.
Several types of medications are used to treat social anxiety disorder. However, the Food and Drug Administration has specifically approved only three medications, all antidepressants, to treat social anxiety disorder.
Those antidepressants are:
fluvaxomine
Paroxetine (Paxil, Paxil CR)
Sertraline (Zoloft)
Venlafaxine (Effexor)
Zoloft I was allergic to so I'm not sure about that one again ask your doctor.
fluvaxomine I take but its hard getting off the medication if you decide to quuit (with your doctors saying) and I know it has some side effects but give it a week or two it will stop.
Tell yourself alot of people, including a good friend right here, has it and its just a sickness, take that nervousness and think of it as excitment.
Most importantly exercise and eat right (no matter now dumb it sounds my mom is right) bananas I found are good lots of fruits are and veg.
I Wish u all the luck in the world, I know you'll get better.
Your friend, Lilo.
