In reply to OSchl- Social Phobia a real,debilitating illness!!, posted by 3 Beer Effect on March 25, 2002, at 13:20:12
Thanks 3 Beer for presenting the facts of social phobia well and backing it up with facts. While I don't have social phobia myself, I'm sure you spoke for many people who are upset by the minimizing of a very real problem. So many mental health problems get masked by self medication, and therefore don't get the attention they deserve. It took a lot of guts for you to face the underlying problem.
It sounds as if your meds are doing you a lot of good, and will make it possible for cognitive therapy to be of benefit to you as well.
Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you for taking your hurt and anger and turning it into something constructive.
