My SA is extreme I would say. Without taking Xanax I would be house bound unless I was going out with someone and not alone. In fact I doubt that I could even live alone unless I took Xanax. Anyone else have it this bad?

well i represent the minor end of the scale, having specific SP that only effects one area of my life. I was going to get CBT but I dont know how many people fall into my situation..

I can do 90% of the things most people can, excluding relationships or intimate situations or clubbing or things along those lines..

So depending on how much of a deal being in a relationship dictates how bad mine is really, which at times is not an issue and other times seems like the worlds biggest issues. I'm generally introverted and shy too, with a hint of depression.

I would like to think i'll overcome it someday, time will tell I guess. Question
