Hey everyone, I haven't started a thread on one of these boards in years. Honestly I don't even know how to start this off. I've come a long way in the past few years when it comes to my social anxiety. Over the course of time i've learned to be much more confident in myself and much more...

I don't know what it is but for some reason when ever I take some xanax I feel home. I enter a state of mental clarity and perception unbound my negative judgment. I feel a sense of everything and nothing. I think about deep philosophical issues, and the meaning of existence and the way we go...

Hey guys, how is everyone? I'd like to talk about the pointlessness of a judgment or label. It seems like in this society, we tend to label everything as one way or another. We label ourselves, we label others, we label everything that passes our sight. I think that is one of the reasons this...

Alright guys, how's everyone doing? Listen, I've been thinking a lot as always and I think that one of the reasons we go through these depressing symptoms and anxious downers that we trudge through is that we lose our sense of ourselves along the way. It gets hard to find who you really are when...

After going to therapy and realizing my ongoing struggle with finding my identity I've come to realize a few things. The world isn't black and white. What I mean by this is that you can't apply labels to every person and think that it operates in this kind of way. How often have you looked at a...

I think one of the main problems we all have with social anxiety, and maybe the cause of it all (not sure) is that we see the world through others eyes. When have you actually stopped for a second and made your own decision instead of thinking what another person might think of you for making...

Just a poem I wrote because I'm in the mood I guess. It's about my depression, and everything else that makes sure that my life is unfulfilling. The pain that eats away inside is never fully satisfied It twists my soul and takes me away never knowing what to say and in the prison that is my...

You know what? **** this I'm done. I'm so sick and tired of this ****ing stupid bullshit. Not being able to let my voice be heard and I can't ****ing do anything about it. This is bullshit, the whole world wants you to run a marathon with a broken ****ing leg. And I'm sorry I'm cursing so much...

I just wanted to propose maybe a little solution and question all in one maybe. Well, after going to therapy I've been learning a really good deal about myself. I really recommend it to anyone going through anykind of mental frustration because it really does help. Anyway let me get to the...

Hi, My Psychiatrist recently prescribed me Ritalin to combat my ADD. He says that the ADD can cause a host of negative mental issues, so my social anxiety and depression could be linked to that. Does anybody know if Ritalin is any good in handling social anxiety?

Don't you hate that with all this crap that we go through everyday that it just comes so easily to some people. With me it feels like I have to devote a lifetime to get over this, but to some it's as easy as riding a bike. They've got no worries like we do and they have the potential to live...

hey, I'm kind of new here and I've been posting alot lately about different topics that I think might help. Here's another one that I'm interested in hearing from the SA community about. Do you think that the answer to all of our problems is just self-esteem? I mean I hear it all the time, but...

Don't you feel like sometimes that if you could overcome SA you could overcome anything else life throws you're way. I'm constantly thinking about it, I always feel that if I have the muster to get over this Anxiety what else could stand in my way? I mean really? Through all of the personal pain...

You know what? After all this time dealing with this SA bullshit I've realized that one thing I really have to start doing is just being myself. It seems like a lot of us try to be people we're not because then we think we'll be looked on as acceptable and we'll live happy lives. I think a real...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this webisite but let me tell you I think it's the greatest thing to have a website like this to help and support people like me going through this in day to day life. It seem that that aren't many people who can understand what it's like to live like this and how it goes...
