Hello all. I'm new here. I have lived with social anxiety disorder for almost twenty years. I am now 31 and not long ago decided to give up hope once and for all of ever getting help. I've tried numerous medications and doctors/therapists none of which have been able to help me. I really wanted to post in here an excellent resource I found on the web. Maybe you all have heard of it. It's called the Social Anxiety Institute. I dare say it has brought me a bit of hope. I don't know if we are allowed to post links but a search on google will easily find it. Please check it out if you haven't.

Exist pre history - i doubt it, back in those days people had to work together in order to survive, everybody worked in collective harmony.

lol! Thanks for the welcome redlady.

And since I can post links, here is a link to a site that is connected to the SAI. It has loads of information as well as some inspiring stories from others who have gotten better. Check it out!

www.social-anxiety-network.com

Hope to see you all around. hmmm maybe I should change my screen name? It is kind of depressing.
