Hi there, have just joined this site. Reason for doing so is that my anxiety over social situations i.e meals with friends/family, speaking to work collegues and being the centre of attention is getting on top of me and now i'm anxious even when i am alone. Seems to be spiralling and not sure the best way to stop it. I have been on seroxat and that helped a lot but i gradually came off it as i feel it was just a quick fix which only masked the problem. Now i do breathing exercises yoga etc and i'm drinking so much chamomile tea its coming out of my ears! This helps but only a little.I guess i'm getting down about constantly feeling anxious when in social situations, butterflies,blushing,feelings of immense anxiety.Gp has put me forward for a stress management group with 10 people per group...highly inappropriate i think! Any advice would be really welcome and am also wondering if medication is the only way to be the real me?
