Hi everyone

[anxiousnightmare]

Hi I am 25 years old and female from the United States. I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I have a lot of anxiety about social situations and believe I might have social anxiety disorder too but I am not sure. For hobbies I enjoy reading books, drawing, writing, listening to music and playing ukulele, collecting dolls and watching anime and Netflix. I hope to get good advice and tips here and to make friends here.

HI there anxiousnightmare.
I'm sure we can help. At least we all here are willing to try.
Now....you mentioned that you think you have social anxiety disorder.
Let ask you...
How do you feel in social situations?
Do you feel insecure or is it mor serious like......sweaty palms,and difficult breathing?
Is it nervousness or just shyness?
You symptoms determine themail severity of the social anxiety disorder.
Because it does sound like you have it ...however. .if it's mild .. you could probably fix it by facing your social interaction head on but, if you have the more severe symptoms. ..therapy and medication may be required.
If you have any questions. ..just ask.
And any of these good people will be happy to help you anyway they can.

In social situations, I feel very afraid. I feel warm and sweat a lot. My body shakes and it is difficult to breathe. When it is really bad, I freeze up like stop moving. Its so bad that I become completely mute. When I was in elementary school , middle and high school I would not talk to anyone. Only nod or shake my head or tap people on the shoulder.

I always get scared when I'm in front of more than two people. That means only three in the room. That small number and I'm okay but any more than that and I freak out and go mute as well.

It' time to talk to your doctor. Get treatment started. You do have social anxiety disorder.

Yes, it does sound like you have an anxiety disorder. Bordering on agoraphobia.
