THERE ARE MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS EVERYWHERE THAT WILL TREAT YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR INCOME. YOU NEED TALK THERAPY WITH AN OBJECTIVE OTHER TO DETERMINE WHERE THIS CAME FROM AND WHEN. SECOND, MEDS MAY BE NECESSARY. GOOD LUCK

Be 100 percent sure that you know what you’re talking about if your going to self diagnose. Shrinks often take a different point of view toward social anxiety than you or i, and what we perceive to be social anxiety is often considered to by a confidence/self esteem issue by them; and only in extreme cases is it social anxiety or indeed it can be linked straight back to depression.

I would do what you can to get a second opinion, if you try to make yourself believe you have it then its a safe bet than you will develop it if you haven’t already and you’ll be causing more harm than good.

mmm did you fail the first question of your self diagnoses for this disease … which is … is the indidual able to tolerate others? … just curious … but truthfully dude … if you really think you are mental … there are plenty of clinics out there, and plenty of free clinics … you are listing a diagnoses that means you have a chance of hurting yourself or others … get help.

I also have social anxiety and I feel for you….I tried everything because I’m not much of a medicine person and I thought I could handle it myself but I couldnt I’m on Lexapro right now and I’m doing so much better you wouldnt even think I had social anxiety. If you don’t have the money I would say get a good book about the subject…goodluck

Ask God for help through his Son Jesus Christ.

Find out what is making your depressed and deal with it.

This is how psychologists help people
