Thanks for the reply. Well what I can do is read a book, and I believe the reason I can do that is because it puts my mind in another world for a while. The reason I couldn't hang my coat up without anxiety was me worrying if there would be enough coat hangers for my coat, and if not I would...

Thanks, it sure sounds similar, specially when you talked about your morning routine. It's getting ridiculous now, I'm struggling to even leave the house in the morning to walk the dog and go to work. I am so paranoid of what people think about me right now, I've just had enough.

If there's one thing that frustrates me the most when it comes to my anxiety, it's the fact it's stopping me from doing the most trivial tasks that shouldn't take a second thought. Today at work I was just sitting, reflecting on the day so far and was trying to figure out what was the smallest...

I think the lack of posting thing is probably the result of people signing up when they're desperate, posting their story, and disappearing once they've got some feedback. Also some people might not like the idea of thinking talking and interacting about their anxiety and depression on a daily...

Hi Konch, Yes definitely! Like if I'm with a group of people and someone would ask me my opinion on a subject I would just freeze up then after it I go over that moment in my mind suggesting ways of how I could have looked less stupid. :rolleyes: Like Rinka said it's classic social anxiety.

Welcome Cindy, you’ll like it here. I totally get your username I feel the same way right now!

Wow this post really struck a chord with me. You sound almost exactly like me when I was your age. Minor differences here and there. However, you are having my experience. Sad I am terribly sorry you're going through this. I wish you best of luck.

Annie you're not alone, this is how I and others here feel on a regular basis. What you described is social anxiety in a nutshell. I hope you can get help for this, have a look into medication or therapy :)

This is exactly what I do, overthink what I should say to people. The problem is it's hard to say the first thing i think of because I can't be myself around others.

Thanks Triceps, Iv'e tried therapy twice, unfortunately i didn't help me much. I terms of medication I self medicate with natural supplements. It helps somewhat, one of the natural remedies I take is very helpful for SA, but it's quite addictive, so that's annoying. That's great you have that...

I have severe social anxiety, I'm sure this isn't healthy, but when I absolutely can't handle a situation, I pretend I'm in a video game (e.g. The Sims). It makes it less real and I can cope until I can escape.

Hi misst. I think that many people have a fear of making mistakes. If you don't mind me asking, what type of job do you do? :)

Hi Rogdog, Kratom can cause constipation ;)

Welcome Chris, you’re not alone I have social anxiety as well, and ocd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I take natural remedies and exercise regularly. But it’s not really helping right now tbh. I’ve tried therapy but it’s not for me..

Cant believe forgot about Goodfellas!! Its been so long since i watched it. Great movie.

Fringe, Dexter, Sherlock, Homeland, Stranger Things.

Could be stress causing it? Are you stressed about anything in particular at the moment, that’s out of the ordinary?

That’s pretty much is how I feel and I am losing hope tbh, my life seems to have come to a dead end lately. Thanks for your kind words.

Kava and kratom are also good. St Johns wort is mainly used for depression as @Hurt&Hopeful said.
