You've heard the phrase "Why don't you talk?", about 1000 times.

...you buy a ticket to a one off concert of a favourite band that cost $90 and you really, really want to see them and may never get the chance to do so again...then can't leave the house because the thought of being around so many people scares you.

you call in sick to work because there is a meeting you are required to attend on that day. I was fired from my last job because of poor attendance that was directly related to my social anxiety. My wife left me because I don't ever wanna leave the house. I sometimes can't even get myself to walk out to the mailbox because all my neighbors mailboxes are beside mine and I'm afraid I might run into one of them. I usually get my mail late at night when I'm sure nobody else will be getting theirs.

I've been on paxil for 3 years now and it doesn't help much. It might help a little but not to the point of being able to function properly. I sometimes think I'm better and I go to the grocery store but last night I went and ran into a lady I knew from my last job and I nearly had a panic attack while talking to her. I was blushing, sweating, shaking. It was awful. I'm not attracted to her either.

I applied for disability but got turned down. I've been living off inheritance money since I got fired from my last job. It's about gone now though and I will have to find a job soon. What a nightmare. SA has destroyed my life.
