I have social phobia, does anyone know how to get over it.?

I had this problem since i was a child.I was so afride of the teacher that i could't ask to use the restroom and i wet myself. This phobia has caused me to miss out on alot of opotunities in my life. I am not crippled but i feel like this fear has crippled my existience. I dont work because I'm continuously afride of people. It is so hard for me to even order coffee, I have to talk to myself constantly, trying to be convinced that they are just people and I can make this order. I also get panic attack just being arround people. Everything that is simple to others is sooo hard for me, like going to the gym, walking alone, as long as it involve people. I've prayed night and day to get brave but sometime i feel that God just chosse to ignore this pray. Please can someone tell me how to get over this so I can finnally live.

I can't believe someone else was so shy they wet themselves because they were afraid to ask to use the bathroom too! I was a shy kid in school. I sort of gained more confidence later on with people but then lost it all after some bad relationships. I KNOW I have been suffering from panic attacks for a long time, but I am on meds and it's somewhat abated. I think people will make fun of your question but I believe you are for real. And I prayed for an awful long time for God to make it go away and it did not. I am not a professional, but as someone like you, I would suggest going to a psychiatrist. If you cannot afford that, then your local mental health clinic. Not working and not being around people is making your problem worse. You need to garner up all the strength you have, go put in job apps. Even if you are nervous, just tell yourself you are practicing. I am guessing that something bad happened to in your youth or you had some problems while young. It's very hard, but remember, you will be proud of yourself for trying, and to try and defeat this is better than sitting around and doing nothing. You need love and you need help. I wish you the best.
