I have problems with social anxiety and was wnodering how you cope with it? i have five kids and even just writing this makes me nervous. I always have to do things like go and take my kids to the doctor or talk to the schools, and i know i have to whether I’m scared or not. Of course once its over i feel relieved and proud of myself for doing it, but if I have to do it again its the same cernario over again, I’m just as scared. I dont want to be put on meds because i believe there has got to be a way to cope with it without meds.
it sounds like your coping pretty good already. I have really bad social anxiety. every day is like how am i going to make it through a conversation. it sounds like you might just benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy.i would talk to a professional and explain whats going on. although it sounds like social anxiety to me, im not the expert.
whatever it is, im sure you will beat it.
You know thats ok as long as you try, it’s just one step at a time, I still have to talk myself through situations and ensure myself it will be ok. I have a 20 year old son who has asthma and we spent quite a few nights in the ER, and it would make me more crazy than him, i remeber sitting there and praying i didn’t get an attack, but I got through it everytime and you will too. I feel the more I conquer the stronger I get, if I can go to the store or among lots of people and still get through it I have gotten somewhere and next time it might not be so hard. Keep going you have alot of support here and if you need someone to talk to we are here for you. Keep praying and moving forward you can do it!!!
