Social Anxiety: Silent pain

[av1988]

Perhaps there is a solution to solving my problem(s), but I take my fear head on almost everyday and seem to make little to no difference. In fact, it has gradually gotten worse over the past few months and my personality has changed dramatically at work. When I'm on break, I can't wait to get out the work building and sit in my car, isolated alone, or talking to my friend. I'm going to stay optimistic and hope my doctor can suggest some recommendations I'm not yet aware of.

TheNightWalker, I suggest you read my thread I created today.

This is the link to my thread. You and I are one in the same. Please let me know what you think. I was in your shoes. The exact same shoes. I even turned to alcohol to solve my problems....turns out, the solution was right in front of me.

Sorry to hear that...I'm not sure how to solve it per se, but I hope it's encouraging to know you aren't alone in this. Have you considered talking to a counselor? LMK, I know of a non-profit that has free counseling services over the phone if you're interested. Blessings.

........Anxiety is not a 'thing' to kick, like an 'enemy', using terms you can relate to.

Well said.
