Ok I been bleaching stuff a lot more recently, I've been avioding this very computer for about 2 weeks cause I know as soon as i touch it I'l have to bleach the keyboard. I fear this may dive me mad so I've decided to just vent out on here (feel free to offer advise, share experiences etc.). I'm...

Actually, never mind xD

I know this is a few days early, but hey! I'm definitely going to start going out more, for walks, bike rides, anything! At least once a day. Also, I need some friends, so I'm going to try and make some this year xD So, what about everyone else?

Hey everyone! I was going to make a thread on irrational fear and confronting it, but decided that Youtuber Laura Lejeune summed it up pretty well :) Also, be sure to check out her channel, which is devoted to self help. Anxiety in public places - YouTube

Just like to put an Idea forward for one or two new forums for Body Image issues such as BDD, and eating disorders. Ive searched around on here a bit and can't seem to find a specific place to discuss these issues which is surprising since they can be closely related to Social Anxiety. Anyway...

This is an idea I literally just thought up a few minutes ago so apologies if it sounds ridiculous. Well I originally joined this site to gain confidence to make my own youtube channel devoted to social anxiety/OCD etc. However I just thought it would be even better If people on this site got...

It's truly appalling to think that there is still a stigma attached to mental illness. I've heard quite a few people on say that they were even judged and discriminated by the people that are paid to help them: Doctors. I haven't experienced this myself which is why I'm curious to hear of other...

Ok so basically I haven't been on here for a few days because my social anxiety has hit the roof and I've lost a lot of motivation. This upsets me so much cause I was on the road to recovery! But, its not the first time I've been improving then suddenly find myself back at square one. However...

well not just herbs- anything natural! Basically, when researching "natural remedies for anxiety", I was overwhelmed with a hell of a lot of stuff. so I thought it would be more useful to hear peoples experiences trying natural remedies for anxiety; Meditation, diety stuff, scented candles...

A shallow person said to me: "If you just pretend to be happy it will cure depression" opinions?

Ok, so I've experienced an awful lot of this. Most of the time its all in good fun and you just have to sort of laugh it off. However there have been times while I've felt quite humiliated in public by random people abusing the colour of my hair and there's even been times when people have been...

For me, there are certain compultions that people don't see, such as checking the wardobe to make sure there are no psychos before I go to sleep or re-writing a post until its perfect XD. Other things I do are more noticeble however, such as the repetitive hand washing. A while ago, when my OCD...

What, to you, is normal? (As in someone without social anxiety) This is something I've been thinking recently when I was thinking what my aim was in terms of recovery. I often think that I'll be "recovered" when I have super-confidence. But then I think that its only natural to be shy and that...

What are peoples opinions on facebook here? I must admit I don't have facebook due to my social anxiety. I think the main reason is that I find it depressing to read how amazingly awesome everyone elses life is, compared to my own hermit lifestyle xD However I relised that the only reason...

Hey! I thought it would be useful to hear others experiences how they told their friends and family that they suffer from Social Anxiety. Firstly, I like to say that if you suffer from social anxiety in silence like I did for pretty much my entire teenage years, telling the people who are...
