Social Anxiety'/ Gad

[Gemma]

I have been having GAD for nearly 12years, its tough, anxiety at night, is awful, I not on medication as it not agree with me, so many side affects, I feel so isolated with social anxiety, I try to go out but not much I've no hobbies, and I stay In most days I suppose every day really watching TV like I've given up, I am a strong woman but its struggling constantly with my GAD social anxiety, I want to find a relationship a nice boyfriend but I can't get on a date I panic, I not want to be alone but it feels its taken over. I have tried counseling.

For the moment focus on finding yourself something interesting to occupy yourself. What do you enjoy doing? Would you like a social activity or a solitary one? If you took up a social one, you could end up meeting a boyfriend and it will help you overcome your anxieties. If you started a solitary hobby it would still make you feel good but it won't help you to get out again.

Thanks for your reply. There is a little sports centre less than 10 minutes away, I'm thinking of going to, its a little step, I used to do sport it helped my stress too. I've given up my hobbies but that is a thing I was told not to do by Dr, as for me meeting a boyfriend i I got to get out there he will not knock on my door.
