Social Phobia?!

Social Phobia?

I've been reading up lately about Social Phobia. I'm pretty sure i have it, but i'm so scared.. The symtoms work; i blush excessively! i sweat a lot and i get a stomach ache when i'm in social situations that can be embaressing or when i think i could be in a situation like this.
I was reading up things to do to stop it on the net, but the only advice is see your doctor.
I really dont want to do this. I dont even know where the doctors is and i never go there.
My mum has a type of phobia like this called Agrophobia, it's like this just much worse. I'm scared I may grow up to be like this, as it is probably inherited. But i really dont know what to do, there's nobody i can really talk to about this, as its too embaressing!
Please help me.
And don't just say 'See your doctor'
This isn't something i want to do, i know i should, but this isn't really telling me something i dont know.
Thanks so much..

I lived this life for years. I didn't leave my house for 9 month's when it first began. I know how frightening this is and the fear you have when you go out manifest's itself into more, you have a lot of good advice here, take it slow, avoid being in large crowd's, understand that everyone is NOT looking at you . I tried the medicine route, i tried the therapist's, these didnt work for me. It boils down to self confidence hun, and your ability to face your fear... Try to figure out what makes you afraid in a sociol situation, understanding what is going on is half of the battle...I had my worst attack at my old work, in the end i passed out, woke up, and realized that ,that was it, that was all that was ever going to happen, once i realized that this "thing" wasnt going to kill me as i had thought befor i got better..i now work in a store with alot of customers and most times i am the only one there....i have my moments still but there just little ones...Dont be afraid to be afraid , we all fear something....god bless and good luck to you
