is there any hope for it?

ever since 6th grade i've had severe social anxiety. in 4 years i made a total of 2 friends. because im so afraid. i dont talk, i'm always socially isolated. my armpits used to sweat all down my sides making hugee sweat marks throughout the day (i use prescription deoderant now drysol), when im walking or something it makes me really tense because of all the people around me, in class i try to avoid people to look at me.

i try speaking up and try multiple times but the words can just never come out. i cant even count the number of times i just wanted to ask the girl or guy next to me a question a simple question like "whens our test again?" but the words just cant come out i feel a tightened feeling throughout my body&get hot flashes when i try.

when i try talking usually the words come out all screwed up i get so nervous and i have to start over with what i'm trying to say, it makes me even more anxious because i look like an idiot when that happens.

i never thought it was social anxiety because the only cases i hears about it were wayyyy extreme.

i just want to make a couple friends, that's all i ever wanted. i'm always unheard and not understood. people think i'm a stuck up ***** because i dont talk, but i really truly want to. i want to be included for oncee not stuck all alone in the corner by myself being the shy girl who never says a word. the one time i said something in my science lab group someone even commented "whoa, you talk?"

i JUST told my psychologist about my social problems so she set me up an appointment with a psychiatrist wednesday. which means i'm going on meds. do the meds actually help? is there any hope for me, ever?

I was recently diagnosed depressive. I've started counselling and medication but it's not doing a lot for me. I have a really negative attitude to myself and experience a lot of anxiety with sexual feelings. I'm doing well in my career but I never seem to feel less lonely. i feel very trapped in myself, like because i am who i am i'll never be able to achieve my goals and sometimes i feel suicidal. sometimes my heart hurts really badly and i lose all hope. i just wondered if anyone has any idea how to cope with these feelings because nothing seems to work and im very worried about myself.

Hello! A year ago I was diagnosed with Depresion & Anxiety. Nevetheless I have had really weird symptoms that I think belong to some other mental illness: One day I felt like killing a relative. I even had the image of cuts and blood. Another day a energy drove me to get into my parents room and kill them. Another day I felt that I was getting crazy. One night I started laughing like a crazy person and could not stop. Can anybody tell me why is this?

It sounds sick, but now, right this second, I want to hurt myself. Is there anything I can do instead? I feel really anxious, restless, and confused, and I've been having sudden feelings of anxiety for no good reason, especially at work, even though my job is not stressful. I cut myself to deal with these feelings. I have been reading a book on cutting to try to learn about it, but it typecasts cutters as freaks- am I, then, a freak? My parents and friends don't know, and I don't have any help.

Hi guys, I really need help. No one has time to listen to me at all. I know that might sound selfish and i know that other people also have problems so its hard. But, I am going through so much at the moment. My father was diagnosed with heart and kidney failure last summer, lots of companies are requesting money from me at the moment from electricity to council tax etc and I am not working, I am finding it so hard to find a job and when I do land myself a job, problems always happen when I am working so I have to quit....for example, was in this job last october, was nice boring but nice however my father became really ill which resulted me in quitting as i had to look after my father. my dad is now out of the country and has been for 3months. All of a sudden, tonight i became really frustrated, hurt and upset and i just feel trapped!tried talking to my boyfriend but he has problems of his own and so he cant listen to mine :( am so confused! any advice???

I stopped taking my 25mg of Zoloft cold turkey without tapering it to 12.5mg first. Ever since I stopped taking it, I've been getting severe migraine headaches, electric zaps every time I move my eyeballs, body aches, chills, fatigue, irritability, agitation and dizziness. I stopped it 12 days ago. I still have these withdrawal symptoms. When will the withdrawal symptoms go away? It's already been 12 days!

I feel a compulsion to log on whenever I'm not busy. I often stay up late and miss sleep. What might be some reasonable guidelines for a good level of use? What are your thoughts or feelings? Does this seem like an essay question on a test?

I'm 12 and I'm sensitive and when someone triggers that sensitivity inside of me I get angry and I would kill someone in rage. And I hurt people I hurt me...I hurt me mostly and I throw objects..

How do I control the sensitivity from being triggered?

Whenever I look at the teachers while they're talking to the whole class and I look at their eyes, I'm okay, but then when their come intact with mine, I look away quickly. I don't know why I do this other than not liking to give direct eye contact to people. Is this a problem or is it normal to not want to give direct eye contact? I can give direct eye contact to friends however...

I am still taking the supplements. Someone told me that she use to take the gingko and billoba supplement/vitamins too before and when she stopped, it made her forgetful and state of mental block. I am taking this so I could focus and gain more concentration for my studies. It says that It could actually help to gain more memory. Anyways though, she told me not top stop taking it or else that would be the side effects. Also, I noticed that eversince I took gingko and billoba I am having a hard time falling asleep. It give me insomnia. Anyone taking the same supplements here or someone who have a medical related explanation please help. and thanks in advance!

not know what you're doing when someone asks "what are you doing?". Because whenever i'm doing something like swinging my phone around by the string (i was bored) and then this voice in my head goes "why are you swinging your phone around?". I think it asked me that so i can get ready to know what to say if someone asks that question. I feel bad when i don't know what to say like i'll know what to say then the voice will keep asking me questions untill i don't know what to say like it'll keep asking why? why? why? then i just say "shut up i'll do what i want!!!!!!" I hate it how can i get this to stop? Is it normal when you don't know what you're doing?

The dream began with myself and my older brother sitting in the car port at home. I had a harmonica and was attempting to play it. My brother went on to accuse me of something and then i was looking at a 3-4 yr old boy gagged with red electrical tape. His face would dissapear and then re appear. The only words i heard him say was this room or that room is bad. I am unsure of whether i was the child. Can someone please tell me what this means? It really scared me and i could not sleep for the remainder of the night, and now cant stop thinking about it.

I used to go to a psychiatrist, but I decided that she wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know, so I stopped seeing her. Since then I've seen a few more, but only briefly, because I didn't think they could help me either. Basically you could say that I'm an angry teen. Very angry. I'm almost always mad at the dumbest things. I'm often depressed and my mood can switch VERY quickly. I always seem to be imagining worst case scenarios in my head and I would like to know is this normal? If there is something wrong with me, what can I do about it?

Was your experience good or bad?
I DO NOT have a mental illness. I would get into fights with my parents and they had the police beat me up and had them lock me in a mental hospital for months where psychiatrists tortured me. Now I have to see a psychiatrist for the rest of my life.
I just sit there and look at the floor.
Those people are absolute idiots. All they want to talk about is penis'
