Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Okay, so I met this girl yesterday. She is super cute and she is perfect. She’s beautiful, smart, funny, etc. Anyway, the only problem is that I have a hard time talking to her.

Can people with social anxiety disorder make decent money?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I’d really like to pull in at least $100k yearly. I’m signed up for a good college this Fall, but it’s going to take a lot to make myself go.

How am I supposed to get help with my overwhelming social anxiety?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’ve had this since a very long time.
When I was younger, I experienced a lot of rejection in my society, especially knowing I was brought up in a working class community and people just weren’t that educated, and could bail on you for almost any reasons in the world.
Life was very hard back then, until [...]

Social Anxiety Medication?

What is best and safe for social anxiety- Prozac, propranolol, or any other anxiety med?

Inderal (propranolol) was largely prescribed for patients [...]
