Has anyone felt social axiety to the point were you feel like you've completely lost yourself more of you don't even have a personality rather then scared to say somthing my head feels blank I'm normally a happy cheerful guy how do I get my confidence and self back
Yes, does it affect your eating when you go out to a restraint ot get a bite to eat then can't eat
Yup, it's all a part of it. You just have to try your best to fight it. Even if you don't feel like doing things, do them. I had a hard time even going out, and now I absolutely can't stand driving, because it feels so unreal. But I force myself to do things, because if I don't I'll just lock myself in even more. Good luck with everything, feel better soon ♡ God bless.
Okay il try my best leonela, thank you I appreciate it xx God bless
its derealization which can make u feel blamk numb. a symptom of anxiety. are u on any meds?
Nope I'm not on anything, do you think they help a lot ? X
Yes meds do help a lot. I suffered for years until the doctor prescribed seroxat(peroxetine) for anxiety and post natal depression. With in a month I was like a different person, more confident, no panic attacks, less anxiety and depression. I'm sure your dr will advice which is best for you. You do feel a bit sick when you first start taking it but worth persevering.
Also look up apps(a lot are free) on the App Store for panic attacks and social anxiety. They help me too and help me sleep better. Good luck X
Good advice Paper fairy, I too always reccomend sticking with meds, they have helped me enourmously with my bipolar and anxiety.
Hope you are keeping well
