You’re not alone!
Hey man,I’m really glad I found this video because you really remind me of myself and we are probably the same age,and It has affected me in the exact same way it has affected you. And also,I don’t believe in taking pills neither,they can’t control the way you think. Living with this really sucks
oh my God…I have social anxiety disorder and I never knew there would be youtubers talking about it! Thank you so much.
@chesster423 Not freakin really, I for one am ugly and fat, and most people with social anxiety disorder have something wrong with them (appearance, whether it is their fault or not) and that feeds their anxiety.
I feel hot, dizzy, and sick to my stomach when I’m in a situation where I’m in a room full of people. If I’m required to speak to someone directly, I can break down into tears without warning just out of pure fear.
I’m seeing a psychiatrist today… hope it helps. Been seven years since this shit began.
Everything you said im dealing with right now its terrible thing to deal with but you just can’t help it…i hate being grouped with random people for projects i just stay quite and when i have to give stuff in i look for a distraction that makes everyone look away and right time for me to run up to the class and give it in… just bad…your not alone man
@emojason6 quit smoking weed, i smoked it until i realised how freaked out it made me
i didnt get like this until i was 15, as a kid i was a loud mouth and always being the class joker i loved the attention, but now im a flippin recluse! wtf happened! im fine around ones i dont know but once the conversation gets to personnal i get anxiety.
And your absolutely right pills wont do a dam
dude i have the same thing you doo bro and it frigen sucks i hate scoial anxity
Hey look at my channel, I’ve got a video on social anxiety disorder a little like this.
its such an irrational feeling i hate it!!!
Hats of to you by admitting in public . I have same feeling and when I have argument with my friends I will think about it the whole day feeling sorry for my self becuase i felt they dominated me in the argument and i could make my arguments at that time may be because of fear
hghh
i know how u feel cuz i also have SAD and its ruining my life. i cant even get a job or a gf its that bad. but anyways i hope u get better man and god bless
I always think People are Plotting against me, Talking about me. In the Mental Hospital I thought this one Kid wanted to Kill Me. And my Anxiety Gave me anorexia because I thought people were Thinking I’m fat or Gross. I only eat at Home. Or when I’m stoned then I don’t Care. I’m on Homeskool too because I can’t Handle regular Skool. And Yes I’m in Highskool. lol
i think i have it. i can never go and hangout with friends cause i think there gonna make fun of me of the way i talk or how i look. i’m taking clomipramine but it doesn’t do anything. i can never meet new people either or do anything cause i feel i will be rejected and people will call me weird or a retard or something. i dunno how to get better.
Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.
In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
God’s healing power is ETERNAL!
Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
The cure for fear is FAITH!
Fear limits you.
FAITH ENABLES YOU!
People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!
God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM…
Ugh I have this too! I’m 19 and still going through this. So I went to College and things got really bad. I always sat in the back of the class because I’m scared of causing so much attention on me. Also..it’s hard for me to go places on my own. I had to drop out of college because of this disorder. And I’m taking meds it doesn’t work. =/
So who does one go to for help?
I know exactly how you feel.
The symptoms you described there,happen to me to.
Since i was a child i’ve been constantly been bothered by this disorder.
At my work,it’s a nightmare standing at the till and serving customers,i constantly think i’m being scrutinized even when i talk to them.
Good Luck man with your recovery
I have social anxiety to :/
i have like everyything you have!
So i relate alot, like the food court in the mall…I alllwaayys have panic attacks ,,i like Freakk out…Like everyone’s eyes are on me…Who ever i look at there thinking bad things about me…ugh :/ But im getting threw …and ic u are 2 :] so thats really good…and i wish you luck! :]]
dude i also been diagnosed with the same thing this week. i’m starting a “CBT” – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, they say it’s a proven method to “heal” from social anxiety disorder. i also feel exactly like you about taking pills so i think you should go find a phsychologist that works by this method. good luck!
i was like you in high school, till i found out i was quiet popular, and that was when i finished school. You might have felt shy or afraid to walk into class, but you never know what people are thinking or at all. I love crowds now because i have nothing to worry about because i’m always happy with who i am. I really don’t care what other people think anymore. It all comes with age and confidence.
I suffered from anxiety for years. I refused to take drugs. Panic attacks were the norm for me. One docto 6 months ago saw how reluctant I was to take any medication so he put me on a supplement course of 2000IU of Vitamin D, 2 magnesium/calcium/zinc tablets and 2 Omega-3 fish oils per day. These are ALL over the counter supplements.
I has been a miracle for me.
100 percent agree with you. same here.
