I have generalized anxiety disorder, so I'm still prone to ridiculous panic attacks and things, but the social aspect seems to be much better with a combination of Zoloft and cognitive behavioural therapy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-social-anxiety#post-2623086 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 15:43:42 +0000 catomd00 2623086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, therapy + meds. Mines gotten better as I've gotten older, but highly recommended starting somewhere if it's negatively impacting your life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-social-anxiety#post-2623047 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 10:37:30 +0000 IRunForFun 2623047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: My anxiety isn't specifically social anxiety but it makes me feel anxious in social situations, if that makes any sense. When my anxiety is really bad I do my fair share of bailing and canceling and it feels awful. </p> <p>But for any type of anxiety that negatively impacts your life I'd highly recommend talking to someone. It can't hurt and will probably help! I don't think you'd regret it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-social-anxiety#post-2623019 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 07:10:52 +0000 Katrocap 2623019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Thanks for the support. Glad to hear that therapy helped your friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-social-anxiety#post-2623006 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 01:34:07 +0000 lamariniere 2623006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you are going through this. A dear friend of mine had social anxiety issues similar to what you described. She sought therapy and it really helped her (along with diagnosing something else that was feeding the anxiety). I hope you can get help and overcome it. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-social-anxiety#post-2622981 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 21:37:57 +0000 Katrocap 2622981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have social anxiety that at times can be pretty debilitating. I've lost some potential friendships (including one here on HB) because I was too scared to follow through and couldn't believe people would actually want to be friends with me. Has anyone here experienced such social anxiety, and if so, sought therapy for it? Thanks. </p>
