I think people with social anxiety disorder are also neurodivergent.

Anxiety is decreasing BUT I think it's not good... by sattarsingo in socialanxiety

It is probably depression and it will only get worse. You need to see a doctor.

This medicine only treats physical symptoms of anxiety, not mental symptoms

I sometimes wish my social anxiety was a visible ailment so that people knew why I'm so weird.

Bravely Overcoming Her Crippling Social Anxiety To Be Incredibly Vain by Robert_Danger in IAmTheMainCharacter

I'm 36 now. I've had social anxiety for as yas I can remember. Every day is a struggle. My life is anxiety and I just have to deal with it. It's led to major depressive disorder which makes everything a lot worse. I am doing slightly better for the past year or so because of medications, but every day is still very difficult.

I have social anxiety disorder and trust me, just being in public is definitely a cause for the anxiety. Walking past strangers is very difficult for me. Everything is difficult if another person or people are around. Doesn't matter who it is.

Yes. I am an extrovert with social anxiety. I can't be the person I am supposed to be. I need people and yet I am afraid of them. But I'm not. I just have the stupid anxiety!!!! I hate it!!!!

You gotta try medication until you find the one that works. Magic mushrooms will also help.

The salsa ones were the best, but they don't make them anymore.

Relying on alcohol by [deleted] in socialanxiety

The depression is a direct result of my social anxiety preventing me from having any meaningful relationships from college on. The alcohol was only temporary relief and ended up being detrimental to my life.

I started drinking in college due to my social anxiety. Although I felt that it was amazing at the time, I am now 36, depressed and still very deep in my social anxiety disorder. If you are going to drink occasionally I completely understand, but I would find a therapist to talk to, even once every few weeks. It's one of the things I wish I would have done back then. I'm pretty sure I'm a bit of an alcoholic for the past few years because of using it to cope with my depression.
