I hope you can find a good counselor to talk to!. Try not to worry about the judgment of others, what matters is what you think!. You have value as a person!. You have value to your family and your child!. And if someone else doesn't like you, so what!? We all have people that don't like us!. The people you feel are judging you have people that judge them too, and they probably don't think about you that much, so try not to give it more weight than it is worth!. Try to practice going out, take small steps and it will get easier!. Think positive thoughts and don't beat yourself down when you don't do as well as you think you should have!.
What have you got to lose by being the person God made you to be!? Nothing!. If someone doesn't like you, that's their choice and their loss!. I speak from experience in that I used to have social anxiety myself!. I'd think over and over about what I'd said or done, or how I wasn't as popular as so and so!. But really it's a waste of time!. If you like yourself, others will like that quality!. It takes work on your part, but it is worth it!. I still say dumb things, and sometimes am nervous in certain situations, but I don't dwell on it!.

You have acrophobia, and best way to cure this is to be referred to a
Psychologist your GP will put you in touch with one, oh you don't need drugs atall !. Makes me wonder why your doctor has not done nothing before! Ring him or get someone to do it for you and say you need to see him and tell him everything, it won't be fixed in 5 minutes or 5 days it will be a very gradual thing, as someone said to me small steps !.

Paxil (generic name is paroxetine) has greatly helped me with social anxiety!. You have to give it time - at least 6 weeks!. It often takes some time to get the right dose and medications!. You may also need to take a combination of meds!. Yeah, some people say that "medication is not always the answer", but sometimes it is!. So take it if it helps!.

You sound so much like me!. I've been suffering from PTSD for about 2 years and for the last year bad social anxiety (after getting over depression about 8 years ago)!. I also have a young child and sometimes I feel like such a bad mom, because I can't even go out into the yard anymore!. So finally 2 weeks ago I started counselling, and my gp started me on an antidepressant!. I don't really have any good advice to give, just wanted you to know you're not alone in feeling like this!. You must be really strong to have made it this far, feeling the way you do!. Get a new doctor (one who understands what you're going through), start counselling, CBT!. You're not going crazy and you can get better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
