[marki]

Does everybody here knows that he/she has SP, cause i still haven't seen a doctor yet..

I just regognise myself in lots of stories i read here..

I'm in the same boat you are. Haven't been diagnosed but the treatment for SP sure fits my problems.

 

[Hellraising]

I'm not diagnosed either. I related a whole lot to this site: http://www.socialphobia.org/fact.html / http://www.socialphobia.org/whatis.html#whatis1

Take a look around if you're interested.

Gee how pissed would I have been if I'd had to pay to be diagnosed with SA? Not like winning the lottery after all..kinda like finding out you're pregnant with the anti-christ, or a baby-telemarketer or a big pink pony with yellow hair, and it's got stilletto heels on instead of horseshoes and it breathes fire and talks with a Glaswegian accent and....whoa..horsey, I think it's my medication time.

rofl, amen to that!

I don't know if I have SP, however I do seem to fit the symptoms. If I do have it, it is definitely not very severe.

i would fit under the to nervous to tell a doctor...still not positive myself though...just seems to explain a lot about myself.

I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist - before that i thought it was agrophobia because i didn't like to go outside and at that stage i had no idea what social phobia was.

 

[SPECTACULAR]

Well, my mom slips me on my face twice everyday one on each cheek and say lots of things about that I don't have social phobia and sometimes she says that social phobia doesn't exist at all. but what does she know?
When i have friends, when i can oreder food from the restaurant, when i can answer phone calls, when I can read loud in the class, when i can say no to what i don't want to do... Then i'll consider myself normal MOM!

 

[marki]

..I didnt know there were so many others that havent been diagnosed yet, I thought I was the only one..

btw I also have problems with my mom, she also thinks im making everything up and she forces me to go out and call my friends and stuff..VERY frustrating..

about me but i've still got to see a doctor :x

Hey Marki,

I have not yet been diagnosed with SP (waiting to see a specialist in Sept) but I know I have SP because I can relate to so much on this web site. I do not have all of the symtoms others have like.... I dont get paranoid people are looking at me through there curtains when I am walking down the street..... but I do get uneasy in other situations. What I am trying to say is people have social phobia to different degrees & symptoms vary.

I was diagnosed with it a few months ago. Though I've been like this all my life(as long as I can remember)...I was just recently diagnosed. I had been to a few psychiatrists & therapists before but they never really told me anything...they were idiots who just kept asking "Why do you hate being around people?" and said "Here, take this medicine; it will make you like people." :? I didn't care much for the woman who diagnosed me either but at least she told me what problems I had instead of just asking ME why I hated being around people, and not giving me a reason.

I was diagnoised by a doctor 8 years ago...when I was first told I had that, nobody around me knew what it was, so nobody really understood what it was that I had. Now the information about it is much more available and so they don't all just think i'm "a little shy".

I’m self diagnosed and even self medicated aswell, atleast that’s what I tell myself when I’m buying the beer (thanks McShy for that :wink: ) ……seriously though I will see a therapist soon and be properly diagnosed buy a ‘professional’ …can’t wait for that 1 :roll: .
