Blushing

I don't know if this counts as blushing but my cheeks are constantly pink, it's like a stain. I'm taking Rosacea tablets for it at the moment but they don't seem to be working. Sad

I blush, and then sweat. At least i think Im blushing, either that or i am turning very pale, but probably blushing because the tops of my hands get red. I have had this happen while standing in grocery checkouts amd had to leave the line. pretend like i forgot something. But by that time my mind is so flustered I know I look like an idiot, and just want to drop everything and run from the place. People must think Im having a stroke or am on speed or something, it's so embarassing. I also get this thing where i cannot move right. If I try to turn my head. or move my arms. they shudder.Not shake. but I cant move smoothly, I think my muscles are tensing up .like , if you tense all the muscles in your head and neck and then turn it, you can feel the shaking. I have never been on meds, only looking to try natural remedies right now. One I have ordered that sounds very promising is a milk peptide called "Casein hydrosylate" It is one I have found that has actually been proven. I am awaiting it now, and will post after I try it.

Hello everybody,
I guess it helps to know im not alone. I'm scared to death of blushing.I think about it 24-7. it would be hard to choose between jumping in shark infested waters while bleeding or standing in front of my class blushing. i know that this fear is caused from the fear of blushing itself, which sucks because i can't not think about it. I have seen a "shrink" about this and she put me on lexapro. she was pretty quick to do so which i thought odd, maybe she just wanted to get me off her hands because she didn't take me seriously. i have been on the meds for about a year, on and off. I definatley don't like the side affects which are, spacing out, not caring about important things, slower refelxes (like when driving). so basically i wish i didn't have to take the meds. i like being med free. i have tried meditating twice daily and taking vitamin B everyday but it doesn't work. life would be so much easier without this problem. I wish i knew what it was handle everyday issues without the added fear and anexiety.In a way i want to find a cure and help everybody else with this problem because i know how bad it is. i don't think anyone would really understand the pain unless you have had this fear before. i want to face my fears one day, but i am so afraid.Maybe i will once im out of high school. Exclamation

its hard for a guy to admit when hes afraid of something like this. if you have any others suggestions please fill me in and if i find something that works ill let you know. Good luck everybody!

p.s. my nick name i choose is kind of ironic huh?

Yeah that topic is not unfamiliar to me. Its taking a great tool on my life. I consider myself a person that is over confident or more confident then most people. I know the pain very well couse i have a great potential in me i cant let out and exploit. I had to resign from going to gym, i love weight lifting, for about a year i lived with my mind and focus mainly on the gym, i couldnt continue anymore since it worsened m blushing alot.
School is even harder since im smart and have alot to say but cant becouse of the frustration that comes after the episode. I notice alot of ppl around me that have that problem too but their problem isnt any close to boeing as bad as mine, its like im 10 and they are in about 2.

I am sooo happy that I found this site! I have suffered with facial blushing for a few years now, I'm almost 19. I absolutely hate it, I've always felt like I was the only one who experienced it, because everyone I knew never blushed like I did. Just about anything triggers my blushing. I can just be sitting in class, and all of a sudden start thinking to myself that people are staring at me even though they aren't, and then I start blushing uncontrollably. Also, one on one conversations make me blush too, especially with my boss at work. Work sucks with this problem. I work in a grocery store so I'm always surrounded by people, and I continuously blush, especially when people catch me off guard. And when I start blushing I keep thinking about how red I'm turning, and it just gets worse and worse, until I go outside or cool off or something. I hate this sooooo much, I feel like it's controlling my life. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I have been blushing since primary school and I am now at college. It got worse as I got older because I feel as if people are judging the way I look when they are talking and looking at me. I am quite confident around certain people but I am very self-consicous about myself and when I get home from college I just think for ages all the embarrasing stuff I have done through the day and it makes me blush and get embarrased. I am sick of it because it's stopping me from performing as I want to be a musician and I would of loved to do drama but I can't. Can anyone help? Is it just something you have for life if you are naturally not confident?
