Well I had to stop lexapro because it was making me scratch myself until I bled...the doctor says we can try something else. I just feel like nothing is ever going to help me with social anxiety and I will never make new friends. I'm so tired of being lonely. I have my wonderful fiance, but women are just repelled by me. I don't understand how to form relationships with people. Medication hasn't helped, therapy was not helpful and a huge waste of time.
Just not sure what to do anymore. Don't know how much longer I can hide the fact that I dont' have anyone. I'm so ashamed of this.

Thanks Lynn I appreciate it...:)

Actually I got an email today from a girl I've been talking to online who lives in my city. She is trying to get a group together of new people who don't know each other and want to meet new people and she invited me. Don't have the details yet but I think we're meeting up next week, could be up to 13 people. I'm excited for the opportunity but also terrified that I'll look, say, or do something stupid. Even afraid of something so small as where I will meet up with them when I get there and how I'll say hello. It's ridiculous the things we can worry about.
