I just had a very very bad episode because of the social anxiety. I actually cried and that never happens. I have and realized it's not getting any better, and I really want to get this fixed. It's stopping me from opportunities and I'm too scared of everything. From going to class, being captain of my old team, saying hi in the hallway, going out of my dorm so I starve for a night. I never questioned why I do the things I do, like avoiding people or situations, or feel the way I do until I ran into a website about people's stories and then heard about Kim Basinger's story. Varsity volleyball in high school was a major accomplishment for me and thought if I stuck it out I'd feel confident after I did it and my nervousness and anxiousness would deplete. Games terrified me and made me wish I would break a leg just so I could avoid playing the game that I normally love. But now I am in college and I have days when I am too scared to even leave my dorm just to go to the bathroom. I'm sick of being held back by this problem I have and it's ruining my relationships with people. I wish I could be my normal self assured and witty self all the time but the other side of me keeps tugging me down. As much as I wish, I don't think I can just do this by my own positive thought. I think it's time to get a therapist, but I'm scared to go to one. Anyone have experience with going to one for this problem?... Read More »
