i dont know what to do about this anymore. i dont know whether to face my fears and get rid of these feelings, or just go on the way i am, afraid of basicly anything to do with being social. i am so confused, why do i have this? why did I get it? ive been reading alot about anxiety and some of the things ive been doing are red flags for being with

i always wondered if other people freaked out about saying here.
its a million times worse when you have to sound off in formation, for me anyways.
and i hateee people hearing me pee and junk. but not so much strangers, but if im at someones house i get wicked nervous they can hear me peeing down the hall or something.

i dunno if this even makes sense

i think i used to have really bad anxiety, and i think i talked myself out of it over the yrs...i don't know if that makes any sense to you. the fact that i smoke every day clearly screams anxiety too, but that's besides the pt. in a much lesser form i have experinced every thing you've said...but its like eventually i became more okay with saying "here"...i think cuz i had a lot of time to think at random times over the yrs and i started to realize how little of ppls actions you notice and remember, try it...through out the day think of that girl that said "here" before you...what did you think of her saying "here"...it didn't even register to you really...and like that person that dropped their books, you didn't really give it that much attention. everyone is so wraped up in what they do that i realized few ppl noticed the things i freaked out about, its 1000 times easier to say that then to do it. fair warning. i think someday, maybe even if i ever want to stop smoking i'll need to get put on something, but i've had the same

no that makes alot of sense, and helps to a point. i have told myself that i shouldnt even make a big deal about these things, because no one even notices, but for some reason some part of my brain doesnt even listen and still reacts. i mean, you're right, who dwells on and remembers little things like someone getting up to go to the bathroom? the whole thing is, i think im more worried of me doing something embarressing, so i just won't do the thing that gives me anxiety at all. and even then, no one even cares. does smoking help you? ive always wondered

i am just a random person from gauged.. but all of this sounds just like me. i went to my regular doctor and as hard as it was, told her about it. she put me on meds and i am 50% better in social situations than i was. not 100% but, i am a lot better. i can talk to people easier than before. i used to have a hard time talking to people i knew, now i can even talk to people i dont know. haha

[livefstdieyng77]

thanks for the input. idk, i guess im just a little scared of being on meds for it like i dont want to have to deal with any risks involved. if u dont mind me asking, what did your doctor put you on?

i was on paxil cr for a long time. and i loved it, it worked great. but then it got way too expensive. now i am on celexa and it doesnt really work for me. i mean i am not depressed and/or anxious but i have really bad insomnia.
