Do I have SAD?

[tinted]

I have pretty bad mood swings where I can t stand anyone else in the room with me.I feel like I m going crazy.
I find it really stressful to leave home even to just go to the bins (2mins away).The thought of leaving the house makes me feel sick.I have an OCD and if I don t do things in a certain order before I leave I feel like I m going to break down and cry.

I can t stand people telling me bad new ( nothing usually really serious just arguments and stuf) because It really stresses me ,I can t help it but I over react and then it usualy triggers my anxiety to become stronger the next day.

I m scared to talk to people I don t know.
I shake all the time.

And I ve been diagnosed with anxiety.

Sounds to me you probaly do. When did this start? Were you outgoing, talkative with lots of friends before? How social are you now compared to before? People with SAD, then tend to avoid social settings and lose friends as a result. But I'd ask your Dr. about it.

Possibly. But the one thing you have to remember is that mental health diagnoses are quite hokey. Having social anxiety doesn't really constitute anything 'solid' in terms of exactly what kinds of symptoms you may experience. And even people who DON'T have 'social anxiety' can certainly feel uncomfortable from time to time in social situations. But I suppose you could say that you have social anxiety if social situations present undue difficulty and are a MAJOR obstacle in your life.
