For me, just some nice simple English. You?

I think everyone on this forum needs a helping hand when it comes to this. In my opinion one close friend would be better than any thearapist. So how do you do the impossible? How do you talk to someone new? How do you make friends?

I'm begining some counselling sessions soon and even after some very helpful replies in my thead about it, i'm still worried. I'm concerned that it wont be effective because i'm too stubborn to change. It makes me look weak and impressionable to change. What would people think if I changed? I...

So I went to the doctors, for the second time, and they have finally got me an appointment with a councillor. It's in over a weeks time, but i'm really nervous about it. I have no idea what it will be like, what they will ask me or anything. Has anyone here had any experience with it that they...

I have always been the miserable, introverted kind, but never really had any relation to depression. I was wondering if others get a random depressive feeling that can last an hour, a day a few days, and be completley unprovoked. I highly doubt i'm bipolar or anything as this is very...

Who is your hero? Why? Tell us about them. Show us them. What do they do? How do they make you feel? Write what you like, even if no one else has any idea what you're talking about. :) Here's mine. Thomas Matthew DeLonge ~ Tom DeLonge. I have never seen anyone have such spirit, such...

This is a thread where you can share the 'stages' you usually go through when being presented with a social situation; from preperation until it is completley over. As an example I will share my usual 'stages' for when I go out. - I know that I have to go out, I feel sick and try and get out...

Before you go out, whether it is too see family, go on a date, go to the shops, what ever, what do you do to prepare yourself? What rituals do you have? What do you tell yourself in your head? Is there anything that actually helps you? Or does it just get you down?

Do you ever feel like it is impossible to be yourself in a social situation? Do you sometimes feel physically unable to be the 'person' that is talking to you inside your head? Do you sometimes just want to be alone because you understand yourself and accept yourself better than most others...

I have decided to keep this journal mostly for myself, and if people find it interesting, care to share advice or similar experiences, then thank you very much. :) Now, I will say now that not all of my posts will be rants and cries for help, though there will probably be quite a number of...

This is just an interview I was reading of my favourite band, Crystal Castles. They are a duo, electronic band, and the synth programmer and guitarist, who goes by the name 'Ethan Kath' appears to suffer from some strong social anxiety. However, he is still a fantastic musician, growing ever...

I am currently 16 years of age. I live with my cousin and my parents. I have a girlfriend that i've been with for almost 8 months now. I am too young to be diagnosed with anything but I have been to see my doctor with complaints of OCD before, they said they would book me in for counciling...

It is an interesting concept that people not suffering from SA get upset, and question themselves over whether they would be able to go sky diving or surfing for example. Whereas, people who are suffering, they question themselves over silly, insignificant things that someone else wouldn't even...

So i've just finished school, and although I have to go back there to do my A Levels, I have roughly 12 weeks off to hide in my room and develop my SA by not having to go out. Now, I have one companion in the world, the only person that has ever loved me for me; my girlfriend. She's still in...

I have suffered with social phobia, though not diagnosed, for as long as I can remember. I have recently finished compulsary education, aged 16. I have a girlfriend, I have been with her for over seven months now. She is my only friend, my only company. I am, in my eyes, socially inept. I...

So for whatever reason, you wake up tomorrow, go to the same work that you have been dreading returning to all weekend because of your SA, but for some miraculous reason, you no longer feel awkward and anxious? I know we all have good and bad days, but just hypothetically speaking, if you lost...
