Social Anxiety Forums

Shy Ty · Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 Post subject: I,m glad I'm not alone

Hello everyone,
My name is Tyra. I was recently diagnosised with social anxiety.
For years I was told it was depression, bi-polar, and other such nonsense.
I finally have a professional with intelligence.

Being battered, isolated and controlled for many years by my EX-husband has rendered me unsure footed.

My professional believes I dont need medication.(not right now any way)
He believe if I can muster up the courage to put myself in social situations more and join this support forum. I have a chance.

Realisticlly, I was in that marriage for 27 years. I know it will be an uphill climb, but I have on some tough hiking boots and I'm ready to get better.

May The Most High bless us all.

Hi Tyra welcome to the forums.

So, have you managed to put yourself in more social situations in real life? If so, did it help? It can be a lot harder to talk to people in real life than it is on the internet.
