In reply to social anxiety/phobia - anyone else?, posted by girlygirl on May 24, 2003, at 9:10:27
Hey! I kinda know how you feel a bit, ive got anxiety aswell. I did the drug thing, and it would have been the perfect cure if it had lasted!! I had to leave Uni cause of constantly being scared to go to lectures and do presentations and stuff, then in the end I just stopped going. I dont know your reason but for me its a lack of confidence and hang ups about my appearance, I just dont think Im good enough!
It must be hard going to work when your anxious, well done for staying, it would be all to easy to give up! Does your boss really dislike you, or is that just you being paranoid? I suppose you'll have to do some serious thinking about whether it is the job you want to be doing, if it is, then there are ways around the problem. Have you tried councelling? I know some specialise in confidence building, and things like social anxietys. On the medication side, AD's can be helpful to some people, they havnt been so far for me! Have you seen a doctor about it? Do you have anyone who you can really talk to about it? Its good you found this board, there is a lot of help and support here. Good luck!
