Full Version: I have social Anxiety : (

Ok so, I have social anxiety, depression and anger,
It does have something got to do with my life though I can't stop
my anxiety of socialising..It's getting worse and worse and
I'm begging to feel more and more depressed.

I even think of suicide though I don't do it because
It would hurt the people who love me.I can be very successful
in school if I did not have this, but because I do,
I cannot concentrate on doing my work and feel sad all the time.

I had this since I went to school in year 5 and over.
Though it hit me once I saw it on tv and from that point onwards,
I realised I had social anxiety.As I searched it up, all those symptoms
occur to me.It feels more like my enemy's are my friends and
strangers are my best friends.
I am so socially bad, that I randomly talk with strangers,
very few times though, and my enemy's are my friends, not
that I have that many, if you know what I mean

I've tried to see a counsellor though it doesn't even help me.
I believe this anxiety can't be taken away by therapy and
expressing my problems unless I get medication.

I don't think medication will work or even last, though I'm very worried
and don't know what to do : (.

ty for reading if you did.
I used to be a lot like this, I've gotten better, but not 100%. I focused on learning something new that would aid my future career, in this case, computer programming/coding. I also got a small group of friends that I really trusted, I started to hang out with them a lot. I gradually got my confidence back and I learned something new in the free time I had from being alone. Thanks to that free time, and how I used it, I am now studying computer science in college/university. My life got a lot better, just hang in there.
I suffer with minor social anxiety. I found the way to eliminate it was just finding a calm zone in your mind When you're in public, You're there.
