About Yourself
|
|
I'm forty years old. I live in Southern CA. I've suffered from social anxiety for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it gets better but it always comes back. I have a depression problem also. I've found that depression causes anxiety and anxiety causes depression. I don't know which came first.
The reason that I'm finally dealing with this problem is that I keep losing people that I love. It rips me apart every time and it takes so long for me to recover. My girlfriend for five years recently decided that she couldn't deal with my anxiety anymore. She needs someone who she can be proud of and who will hang out with her friends and family. I so wish that I could be that guy. This is the second long term relationship that I've lost because of my anxiety. I hate being shy. I need to fix this if it's possible. I've seen a psychiatrist for medication and I'm seeing a counselor also. I really hope that I can overcome this.
Anyway, This site has helped a lot. It's nice to know that other people have similar problems. Unfortunately I'm not hearing many success stories. Has anyone been able to overcome their anxiety? I want to hear if there's any hope.
