When even Dealing with others with Social Phobia Causes Anxiety
It's been awhile. This blog was never meant to be anything more than a personal space to talk about my personal experiences of nearly 30 years dealing with social phobia aka social anxiety disorder. I am not a medical professional or a therapist- just someone who has lived this $#%^ ( stuff).
Over the past year several readers have contacted me through my personal website to discuss social anxiety. If you have it or know anything about social anxiety you know how difficult it is to deal with others.
I have found it is no easier dealing with others with S.A. The other night I found myself depressed because at one time I was having email conversations with 5 people. However all of those people simply stopped responding or haven't responded in months.
All of these people found me on my website and sought out the conversation with me. We discussed very personal things.
So what did I say or do to run-off several people, even those who also have social anxiety?

I know what you mean :) It can be hard to maintain relationships when you have anxiety - it is for me, anyway. If I feel good, I can pour out emails every day but when I feel bad, I withdraw and maybe don't write for a month or two. Btw, I find your blog very inspiring. I suffer from social anxiety, too.
Anxiety is an outcome of fear. There can be many ways to treat anxiety in a natural way.
Some natural anxiety remedies to look into are St.John's Wort, SAMe, L-Theanine, and Tryptophan. There's also cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and programs like Panic Away and The Linden Method, to name a few. Hope this helps!
I have been in the same situation before, I would say that the best approach on how to cure anxiety is to understand the causes and its symptoms. Relaxation and daily exercises will be a great help.
Having social phobia is very challenging. Honestly, I'm suffering with my dental phobia up to know. No one knows this dark secret of mine because it's not good for the image of a guy. My mom referred a dentist in Murrells Inlet. She said that dentists in Murrells Inlet are known for professional dentist services, that's why she chose my dentist from Murell. I hope, I can cope with my dental phobia.
