Hi I am new here.........................
I have been taking prozac for about 6 years for depression. It has helped alot with depression, but..............I am suffering from social anxiety bad, and have been for a long time. I hate making phone calls, talking to new people, list goes on..............I also just had a baby 3 months ago, and I feel very paniced all the time from his fussiness. Do any of you suffer from social anxiety, and what meds are you on?
I am going to the doctor soon!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you,
Skye

Hello Skye,
So when did your baby start getting less fussy???? I have the same problem at the grocerie store, but my head will start to shake. Is your medication that you take kind of like xanax?
Skye,
Hi & welcome!

Thank you Jan,I found that info very helpful for myself as well.I get so nervous when someone talks to me,or I have to talk.I turn fire RED,its the most enbarressing thing ever.Whats even worse is when someone notices the redness,and they ask,what it is,which makes me even redder.I just recently went to someones house,who asked me to bring over a few DVDs.I layed them on the counter when I got there,and someone stuck an add in one of them for playboy,like 1 year subscription.We were all sitting around when someone opened the movie and out that came.Some ppl there thought I really put that in there,and were questioning me beyond belief.I was so enbarressed and red,they started commenting on how enbarressed Jeanie was and shes the one who put that dirty add in the case.I went in the bathroom and bawled my eyes out.No one new I had this social shyness,so it was just awful.It was all a joke,but I am still mad and will never forget it.
Jan,I agree 100% with everything you said.The very guy who put that dirty gesture in with that movie,is going threw a divorse.Hes more like a friend of a friend of a friend.KWIM?I avoid him so bad.He loves to embarrass ppl and put them on the spot.What happened to me over that stupid movie,just did something to me.He actually let me get on the phone and call my oldest son,demanding that he tell me he did that to me.Of course Brian had know idea what I was talking about and was very upset.Thats when Mr.Arrogent admitted it.Oh yea,his divorce,she claims mental abuse.Its very sick to know there are actually people who love to hurt someone else,to make themselves feel good about who they are.
