social anxiety yahoo groups

//www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_comm_support.cfm otherwise most groups are more social it seems. check out yahoo groups to see if a social group is near you. often they meet for coffee/dinner/activities monthly or so and you can go and talk to others though when they are more social in nature, you might not be able to find someone who has accurate information for you though of course you can get an idea of what life has been like for them with herpes.

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

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?

everyone would have to open a yahoo account.......thats the easiest way......i think.

why not make your own online group and try to organize people? you can make a user group here on medhelp or yahoo groups are also useful for it.

It sounds like your daughter could be suffering from social anxiety. If she has been on the Zoloft for 5 months and has noticed no improvement, then it's time to think about trying something different, Has she also been in therapy this whole time as well? Since this began when she was quite young and you mentioned sleepovers, makes me wonder if this may have it's roots in seperation anxiety. These are only my thoughts, I am not a doctor and am not offering a diagnosis of any sort.

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!

Hi Malaisy, Antidepressives helped me with social anxiety and I'm sure they can help you too. I found big differences in effectiveness between them so it's very important to understand that you may have to make a couple of changes before settling on the right one. For me it was Effexor XR; I didn't care for some others. It helps to be a little patient. Better yet, work-through your issues through talk-therapy.

Have any of you had issues with Social anxiety in particular bipolar people? Also do any of you have to force yourself to get up and get out rather than behaving like a recluse? I have had problems with the above mentioned issues from time to time and was just wondering if this is common?

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 know many people that go to various groups that can help with public speaking or are there any social anxiety groups that you can attend in your area? For me, anxiety is so much easier to deal with once I learned more about it. It can be very confusing and quite scary at first, but as with all things, more we learn about something the less daunting it seems....keep us posted!

I have had social anxiety for many years now, I never had it when I was a child I think it came onto me because I was a late bloomer in school so I always felt like I wasn't part of the crew in school. I always felt like I was behind the times. I suffer from social anxiety and blushing. Every time I speak to people in public I start to blush. It doesn't matter how many people I talk to, it can be maybe 1 or 2 and it depends on where it is.

Being really anti social has always been a problem for me. But the more my therapist and family try to gradually introduce me into being social again, the scarier it becomes for me. What should I do? I have a small group of friends that I am comfortable with, but they aren't "enough" for my family.

Hi there and welcome to med help. Well, sure--- you can post here OR there absolutely is a teen forum or if you feel like you have anxiety and that is why you stay 'in', then you could check out the anxiety forum. There are lots of forums and lots of people to talk to on any one or all of them. So post anywhere you choose and on as many forums as you choose. Welcome to med help.

Well I'm 13 and I think I might have social anxiety. Every time I'm in a group (Sometimes even 1-3 people) I get nervous and clam up and I feel anxious. Most of the time I wear my headphones because it calms me and I'm able to walk around stores and large groups without being nervous and anxiou. I can't seem to socialize because I have this problem. Is this social anxiety?

I have a 12yr boy who has deletion 10Q11.22-Q11.23 please help I need info as I have see a few doctor who are unable to help me because it is so rare and no info in regards to it.

) I also forgot to mention to also AVOID the Myspace HPV community as well as to avoid many user made Yahoo groups. Lots of false information is posted in these mediums. In my opinion, the most credible sources on the web are the CDC, ASHA, and the doctor's advice given in the expert forums here on MedHelp.

whether your stress is causing depression issues or social anxiety problems. Pain minimization techniques are interchangeable across situations also (stretch/flex, acupuncture, ice/heat, etc.). Therefore whether you have fibromyalgia or cancer, most any self-help group will do. Bottom line, for me, groups are invaluable. One of the worst things that this, and any chronic, incurable disorder does to us is isolate us. "There is no one out there like me. "I'm the only one that.

Social anxiety is a pretty common form of anxiety in my opinion. If you read many of the posts here you will probably see many similarities in your experience with this. Have you always been shy/nervous in big groups of people? Have you suffered from anxiety in the past? Anxiety can be a real big pain in the you know what, but it is VERY 'treatable' with understanding and the willingness to confront it even thought it can be very confusing and scary; especially in the beginning....

I use to think i just had a bubbly personality i still do but i can see im also very anxious, i have social anxiety so i get nervous talking w new people or in large groups. Any suggestions, breathing or techniques i could try, any particular councelors i could be seen for this.
