Social Anxiety & Depression

16 July 2010 25 Comments

How I overcame my battle with social anxiety & depression. I’m still do not like to draw a lot of attention to myself but I can at least go to a wedding or reception or party without feeling like I may hyperventilate any minute.

    What’s the name of the anxiety medication that was prescribed to you?

    I’m glad that you’re better now. I really don’t feel like I have a reason to be depressed or anxious either. It’s hard to explain to others because they don’t seem to understand. I feel a great deal of depression because of the SA and I just avoid talking most of the time even though there’s so much that I want to say. I’m afraid that people are judging my every word and action. I know its not true, but I can’t seem to stop thinking in such a way.

    Thanks for sharing this video :)

    I felt embarassed to admit about my depression when I was young. I just started wellbutin for my depression. When I was in elementary and people made fun of me I never knew what to say. I would panic

    You seem like such a sweet person. I’m happy that you’re not feeling depressed like you were before and that you’re fine now.
    You’re a very pretty woman, and I like your make up. =)

    im dealing with social anxiety and depression, ur video really helps, makes me feel like im not alone. I always sorta panic when im around people, i act clumsy, i get mind blocked, don’t know what to talk about. it’s hard for me to make friends, i always zone out and just isolate myself from everything. I don’t talk to anyone about it, i feel embarrassed. hopefully if i get on meds i’ll get better and just be past it. This condition is holding me back from being successful, i hate it.

    Thanks for your comment. I know this is tough. Good luck at school. I actually had a great time my first year & that was before the meds. Try to find good, supportive friends. And, at the risk of sounding like the “old lady,” don’t drink too much. That often leads to regrets & more depression the next day.

    You have to be careful with that or you could end up trading one problem for another or making your first problem worse. I don’t really care much for alcohol but when ever I did drink I would “come out of my shell” a bit but then after the alcohol wore off I would remember back to how relaxed I was & it would just make me feel worse.

    If you have everything you want and still have anxiety then you don’t have enthusiasm. I’m like that now I don’t know why. But I drink and it helps =]
