Hi i just discovered this forum while browsing google. So... i know i had problems when "put on spot" or "standing out" because i would be loss for words and sometimes even have cold sweats. But these symptoms seems very untrivial and i would ignore them as i had no problem making friends... until college. I am a male college student now and just the begenning of this year i experienced somthing that really set me back socially. Apparently, my anxiety level worsened. when i am around people and i either feel aggitated, excited, uncomfortable, etc my whole body become RED, literally, and i feel little sharp pecks around my chest and face( along with several other anxiety symptoms). At first i didnt know what was happening, i thought it was a one time thing, but gradually the same episode kept occuring throughout my college year when i am around a social group, or a special individual. Sigh... Although, i dont like to admit it, i am a very self-consious person. so...i tend to care what people think about me (even though i dont act it). Thus, i just shut myself in and have been ruining my college experience. I have been to several anxiety relief seminar but i can not seem to get over this problem. Reading other people's problem with anxiety, I find my symptom to be quiet sever. Even while writing this letter, i am getting few anxiety attacks cause i dont like sharing personal stuff with my friends. So i was thinking about taking some medication. I figured that being drowsy most of the time is better then this, but i dont want a med that will make me depressed. Especially more so since i am a college student haha. So, i was hoping i can get some expertise on what kind of medication can help me or even a simple advice would be great.
Sorry, if this sounded whiny its just that i am really concerned about my situation. Thank you for reading ^^
