My Social Anxiety (part 15)
I was instructed to take 20mg Citalopram while taking Imipramine by my psychiatrist. Side effects have decreased a little, but overall no improved feelings. The main cause of my anxiety was me being the center of attention. This was discovered in therapy after I pointed out that I had lower levels of anxiety seeing my psychiatrist than I did in therapy. It turned out that because my therapist was more directly facing me, that I felt more under pressure and it was more difficult to talk. She then moved to the other side of the room and my anxiety level dropped. Talked about my recently uploaded piano videos. Then finished up with my recent Easter experience with my family. It didn’t go so well. I felt very anxious/depressed the whole time. People kept questioning me about school and work and by the third time someone asked how things were going, I nearly lost it. It took so much energy to restrain myself from breaking down and crying. I also couldn’t help but feel like this was never going to get better. Not to mention that this was the worst I had ever felt in a family event so it seemed like things were going downhill.
what? FUCK
I like to think of overcoming SA and pulling one’s self out of negative states as being the same as learning to play a musical instrument (or other skill). At first you’re really crap at it, to the point where you can’t make a tune, but if you keep practising and do so consistently enough so you don’t forget it what you’ve learnt and aren’t re-learning, then eventually you will be able to do it without thinking about it.
you seem to be a completely different person, kid!!
Kid! you are worse now than before you started any treatment!
this is giving me anxiety just watching!
SSRI’s SNRI’s Trycyclics……all don’t do jack shit for social anxiety/phobia. Clonazepam and Propranalol is one of THE BEST combination of meds to treat anxiety. Docs,Pdocs don’t prescribe stimulants for adhd and don’t prescribe benzo’s for social anxiety, it’s crazy. There is no street market price on anti D’s, …..so it is safer for a lazy doctor to go textbook and hand out AD’s for anxiety, …then they mess with the WRONG brain chemicals.
you should make a video just of all your favorite songs in general.
I´m not really keen on taking ssri s on a daily basis in order to combat social phobia. What you could try is combining propranolol(beta-blocker) and alprazolam(benzodiazapine). don´t take benzos often. this combination will help you feel almost no anxiety when you are going to a family reunion a party or similar. the good thing is then that you don´t take any medication on a daily basis. ask your psych about this combination.
take the med one or half an hour before what provoces anx.
yea i got anxiety with alot of stuff, i tried meditating and it helpd a little bit. i was on zolof for depression and i got talam caitalopram atm,
It’s always interesting to see how different another person’s SA is from another. For instance, Chan actually enjoys being the center of attention. He told me this about a few months ago when we had a voice conference in skype. As for myself, being the center of attention (at least in therapy) isn’t an issue for me. In fact, I actually enjoy it myself I think, so long as I get to choose the topic I think.
I was prescribed cipramil also for my anxiety,and i didnt like the side effects at all…
I feel your pain man I have had anxiety/panic disorder since I was 18 years old I’m 32 now .
wow i think so too o.O
omg i totally get how the positioning affects how low or high the anxiety gets…
isn’t it funny how much the anxiety decreases when in a different place? i like to angle myself to the side when eating with somebody, so much better.
oh ya good video.
You need to play some metal gear solid 4 guns of the patriots. Solid Snake for the win.
doesn’t it take weekes for it to kick in?? i’ve had a prescription for it for months but havent used it cause i wanted something more now. I have ativan now and man that gets my buzzin like 20 minutes after taking it
I like my anxiety. It feels good like it takes me a why from this world for a little . I feel real and not fake.

Hey, I just got perscribed these things today. Thanks for the video.
your hot!
keep going mate! im going thru the same thing in the UK
There you go. Sounds like a good plan!
You gotta let thoughts run through you, let them flow through you, don’t get caught up in your thoughts and mental scenarios. Working on it myself, but it’s like a 7 year old habit, and my ego gets to me very often. As for the drugs, the effect will increase exponentially, let them work in your body for a few weeks, your body is very resistant. Like your videos man, stay strong.
