Just two years

I'm absolutely sick of this SA keeping me from making friends, keeping friends, having romance in my life, and just enjoying life. So this is it. I'm finally gonna do something.

I'm gonna get over this crappy disorder in the next two years. By then I'll still only be 20, so I'll have tons of time to party and have fun with life! I can do this! I know I can I just have to try hard and NEVER give up!!!

It's gonna be tough, but I think two years is pretty realistic right?? That's 730 days...I think we should ALL make this our goal. TO BE COMPLETELY RID OF SOCIAL ANXIETY IN TWO YEARS.

[Gone for good.]

good! I had to live with it for 4 years and my advice is go for it!

2 years is too long. I say 1 year. Of course, I'm 24...so I have 4 years less than you to enjoy...

I gave myself 5 years to obtain a normal life and I still have 3 years. Now that I know the world is ending on 21 December 2012, though, I really don't know what to think.

Yeah, well Nostradamus said the world would end in 1999 and that didn't happen, so I don't think you should take it too seriously.

Yup, sounds good. I gave myself a year to be able to go back to college and that worked. Now I'm giving myself 9months to try and be living a 'normal' life again, or back to what i used to be able to do but this time without anxiety. It's funny, I suck at reaching short term goals but so far I've reached my only long-term one so that's good!
Is there anything specific you want to work towards to do in two years time? Mine was going back to college so it was good that there was something solid there so that I could say, yes, I have reached my goal, or no I haven't.
Maybe you could organise something for two year's time?
