social anxiety marriage

have a time limit. I know that if she had my social anxiety or whatever my problem is, I would leave with her once she reached her limit. But my wife won't do it. And it ticks me off. Then I get angrier inside, and I withdraw even more. Many times, I take 2 or 3 trips to the bathroom just to get 5 minutes to myself for some peace and quiet. By the end of the night, I'm exhausted, mentally and physically. She doesn't understand how emotionally draining it is to socialize.

As the others say, certainly be more concerned about social consequences than genetic ones. If your marriage would ostracize you from your whole social world, think hard about it because you need that world once you marry. The one instance in which I would be concerned about the genetic issues is if, for example, your mother and her sister had married two guys from the same small village. The gene pool would be reduced on both sides, then.

I just want to knoe if it is possible for a person suffering from social anxiety to have a normal married life? My partner knows nothing about my anxiety and there is no way I can tell him.

So I've just recently become open with my social anxiety. I remember being in middle school and thinking that something was horribly wrong with me. I would get so nervouse around people. My body would tremble, my voice would shake and I couldn't think clearly. I've become more comfortable with being uncomfortable, and yes I do notice that there are plenty of people that are shy, but I really hate the fact that my real personality can't show when I'm around people.

Anyone else get social anxiety in big groups? I have always been an anxious person in general but i have always Been able to manage it and show up to group events. I have noticed now though the farther along i get the more anxious i get and the more i get the overwhelming urge to bolt from events. Its getting bad too. Any one else or any ideas?

I was diagnosed with social anxiety and panic disorder a year ago. I take remeron and klonopin but the doctor says only to take them at night. I think I need some medication to get through the day but I am afraid to tell him I am having trouble getting through the day. I always have a butterfly feeling in my stomach and when I have to go in public I get very nervous and feel like everyone is looking at me. I guess my question is does anyone else feel this way and what should I do?

Yes, it does sound like social anxiety. Have you thought about getting in to counseling to help with this?

You are correct that the Abilfy will not help with your social anxiety. And while I do not mean to imply that your social worker has not helped you, very few, if any, social workers are trained psychologists who can help you with this problem. It may be worth considering professional therapy to beat this phobia once and for all.

I have a presentation coming up next week, so I decided to go and seek medical help today. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed me with social anxiety. He said that the best treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, but he prescribed me some medication to get me through this semester. He prescribed 10 mg propranolol (inderal) 3 times a day and an extra 10 mg inderal 1 hour before the presentation + 0.25 mg Xanax 1 hour before the presentation.

I know, when you feel the anxiety, it leads to more anxiety because you are anxious they will notice your anxiety... Higher heart rate, blood pressure, chest pains, wish to immediately leave the place... And to me, it seems better to leave home at night or when it is colder or rainy, because there are less people out there, on the street... You are not alone!

I have a question about social anxiety accompanied with phobia. I am a mother of 5 and I have had social anxiety since I was young. I am now 45. I bagan to drink and use drugs at an early age, to help bring comfort when I was around people. I had it pretty well managed, by making myself get out. I have had counseling in the past, but I never discussed this with the counsler, because I really didn't think it was a major problem for me. My 2nd son is turning 16 next month.

I would also have to agree that counseling can really help with social anxiety. First of all, don't feel ashamed or embarrased about it because many people suffer from this in my opinion. In my experience, counseling can she some light on why you are feeling anxious, make it less confusing, and gvie you as step by step approach to confront it.

Yes you do have social anxiety. I have had it for years and now it has turned into agoraphobia. I also have panic attacks. I am not saying all this could happen to you but just be aware of these things. Have you seen a therapist? I stay secluded to my home but my therapist is trying to help me with these issues. I take xanax for the panic attacks and anxiety. But they do have different meds. I suggest you go to a mental health facility in your area. They can be quite helpful.

So I have endured Social Anxiety all my life. Along with Depression, these two make a great pair! My question is this. How does one go about getting a job, going back to school, buying a car, etc, when you don't have money, because you can't get a job because you can't be around people (social anxiety)? This *****. It's really a nasty circle.

Is it possible to have social anxiety with bp? I don't do the spending sprees or have extramartial affairs but I certainly feel paranoia. I start withdrawing after my manic episode. It all starts with not feeling comfortable around people and I feel highly irritable....it feels like I want to jump out of my skin. I have trouble speaking too. I would get sentences all mixed up or start stammering away when I have to talk to someone. I start to withdraw into my little world.

If you find the answer to this question, let me know. Iam the exact same way. People seem to think i am stuck-up, or a b tch. My husband is the only one that gets me. One thing I have learned, when i do talk to people, i try to talk enough to bring up my shyness and it seems after that they know im not stuck-up and they reach out more. I dont take it anymore but when i was on lexapro, i was more confident with who i was and was able to talk more to people.

I believe I have social anxiety and am currently seeing a therapist. However, managing my symptoms has become a daily challenge. How do I prevent panic attacks when I'm around others? I still get really anxious around strangers which prevents me from making genuine relationships?

As I learned to cope with this through therapy and some medication, my wife also went to a counselor to learn about why I thought the way I did and she learned the anxiety cycle. We also went to marriage counseling together and both helped in ways I would never imagine. The marriage counseling for me opened up my inward thinking (which we tend to do when someone suffers from anxiety and/or panic). We got through this, and our marriage became even STRONGER than it was before.

I am a 30 year old woman. I have had severe social anxiety since I was 12 years old. So far I've just about managed to complete my studies and get a job. I have a lot of diffficulty interacting with people at the workplace. Now I am under a lot of pressure to get married. Now I live in a country where arranged marriages are the norm and our partner is selected by our parents and we don't get to meet them before marriage. So I don't get the chance to discuss my anxiety with him.

THEN after all that pointless wasted time I was done and she went to set me up an appointment. All of a sudden this lady from Social Services comes in askin me all these questions. Then, she asked about the dad. I'm 17. I was 16 when I got pregnant. My husband is 22. This lady was like.. I'm gonna have to file a police report! Uhm excuse me I have every right to have sex with my own husband. And according to my due date.. the conception date is Aug 24! We married July 18!

I have a professional social site page dedicated to professional growth. So does my ex on the same site. Should I let him be in my network?

I had to wait until after the wedding to take the marriage license to the DMV and social security office to get my name changed. That was in CT but I am not sure how it works in OH. You will definitely need your marriage license before you do anything. Your credit cards & bank will probably also need to see a copy of the license as well. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!!!

What would be the better medication for depression, anxiety, and social anxiety. Effexor xr or Zoloft.

I have been dealing with anxiety in social situations since I was a young child. When I was about 13 depression also came on board. I never had many friends, I was always quite shy and introverted. When I was 24 I went away to college about 500km from home. As soon as I was on my own and didn't have to answer to anyone I started being reckless. I slept with the first guy that showed me any kind of friendship or kindness.

Try not to beat yourself up over the baby shower situation. Anxiety is tough and if you have social anxiety situations such as the baby shower obviously are going to trigger something. I would suggest that you talk with a therapist. They really are a great outlet. I hope you feel better soon....
