For people who have had treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder……….?
Posted by: | CommentsWhat do they do? How did they get rid of it? I’m suffering from depression…and possibly bipolar. I haven’t had a proper counselling (tried but they did not understand me at all), not really keen on seeking help though I know I should. I have Social Anxiety Disorder. Although I’ve self diagnosed this my symptoms seems to point to Social anxiety disorder.
My symptoms are extreme nervousness sitting in a place where there’s a lot of people sitting close to me and when it goes quite quiet I start to feel my face getting hot, and i start sweating, i become aware of my breathing and then i’d hold my breathe then keep taking sharp breathes, and i get very fidgety and feel like i need to get out of the room but the more i think about that the more i panic and my version gets blurry. It can get really bad to the point where i feel like I’m suffocating, but if i start breathing i hyperventilate and i get paranoid that people will notice my behaviour.
Anyway I just want to know what they do in the sessions because i heard people recover from it in sessions or so. Thanks x
I suffer from axiety attacks, or panic attacks as they are also reffered to. generally in meeting rooms and crouded places, i had pretty much given up on myself getting over the issue and thought i’d be avoiding situation all through my life. but my doctor prescribed me some "propranolol" (litterally about 5 days ago) which basically blocks the adrenalin gland somehow, thus stopping the panic attacks, heart racing, sweating, dizzyness, and it seems to give me a sense of no fear around situations i’d normally dread. you can get this drug (propranolol) in very low 10mg doses, and they give it to people taking driving tests / it’s also used for performers to combat stage fright / and for people with heart conditions as it regulates their heart beat.
i have had no side effects and it is effective within an hour after taking it. not addictive either so this would be a great temporary solution to get you on right track. for me so far so good… look it up
i am slowly putting myself in situation that trigger of my anxiety attacks so that i can train my mind to see that i’m going to be ok, i’m not going to burn up and die, and eventually stop taking it.
it’s stopped all my fears over night!
