Hey there,
I'm new to these boarRAB and I have developed a great interest in the topics at hand.
I have come here to grow as a young adult and to try to understand myself better as a person by hopefully gaining some insight as to what my life is about, what I can change, what I can improve upon etc..
It has come to my recent attention that I have developed an incredibly terrible social anxiety problem. I can't be bothered to go out with frienRAB anymore and I can't deal being a big crowRAB. Since I have started school I've been like this and I don't know what to do about it.
I'm scared to take medication for it and I am unsure of how to go about getting counselling in any sort. I have tried talking to my family doctor about these issues and she just tries to prescribe medication without any analysis whatsoever. I want to be tested for anxiety/depression before I actually start taking medication.
It's really taken a huge burden on my life. The most social interaction I get is at work because ironically I work in retail for a clothing store. I am incredibly friendly and welcoming at work but outside I can't even hold a conversation down with a coworker that I was chatting up a storm with while we were at work.
I need to figure out what is wrong. I can't keep living like this anymore because I feel like I'm going to just become a shut in for the rest of my life.
