Question:
Please help...is this social anxiety????
ok so basically. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE COCKY....but once you get to know me i am honestly the shitttttt haha no but seriously i am pretty and stuff and i am very funny and i overall have a good personality and people want to be my friend!!! however...this is---- ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW ME... if i meet or am around someone who i feel is better than me then i literally don't say a word and i am so shy and quiet and i come off as if i am like crazy because i am so shy and when they talk to me i like turn alll red and i swallow and i get very very much anxiety and it is so frustrating...on the other hand when i am with someone that is not "cool" in my perspective than i am totally normal and stuff and i dont care about what they think of me and they end up loving me because my true self comes out right away... i have been struggling witht htis for awhile. like for example in some of my classes i get kicked out cause i am too wild and disrupt etc __CONTINUED

Answers:
I am not a medical professional but I have been diagnosed with ADHD and mild anxiety. Your experiences sound almost exactly like mine. I currently take strattera, adderall, and xanax(when i need it for anxiety). The strattera and adderall are usually enough but when my anxiety gets really bad I take a xanax and about 1/2 an hour later i feel fine. You should really see a doctor and let him/her know what you are experiencing. Some doctors don't like prescribing strattera and adderall together, but I think they complement each other rather nicely. Good Luck :)
