Hi all

Just thought i'd introduce myself as been posting on a few posts but not introduced myself yet.

I'm Sarah. I've been extremely shy since i was very young. i got bullied in secondary school which didn't help at all. i get soo scared of meeting new people, i shake,stammer and am very weary about them and what they think about me.. I stammer and look very stupid and am conscious of this. i also find it hard talking on the phone especially to strangers.

I can relate to a lot of posts on here that i've read. and look forward to chatting to like minded people on here.

also i know i need to go to the doctors as i know there's like a problem but i don't dare too. I've also been getting really down lately and had a panick attack a week ago although there's been a few problems in my life that brought that on. i don't like the doctors and feel like i can't tell them anything.

cheers

Sarah

Welcome here Sara.
Well, only thing that doctors can do is give you advice and prescribe meds. They'll probably say the same thing as everyone else: Exposure therapy.

Hi sarah, docs are great these days and very understanding, if you have little ones they make your health and welfare a priority

Hi Epona/Sarah!

I have the same issue when it comes to talking on the phone.

Welcome to SPW... I know how annoying it is to be self-concious and for that to only make it worse. I hope this place proves helpful

Thanks all for the welcomes. prefer beer to lemonade i've got an appointment at the doctors the end of this month. just hope to talk and understand more whats going on with me. and try get some help as i have dreams of what i want with my life and my extreme shyness and stuttering and getting nervous when talking to people gets in the way. people think i'm rude because i don't talk much and think I'm ignorant.
