Social Anxiety

I was disabled from social anxiety disorder for about 15-20 years of my adult life

. I say 15-20 years because it's hard to determine when the symptoms began and when they ended.

It all first started when I went away to college. While walking along the campus, I felt like everybody was watching me, judging me, and talking about me. My face would start sweating profusely, and I would end up in a bathroom hiding in a bathroom stall until my clothes dried up from all the sweating my body was producing because of the fear. It was awful. I was scared, ashamed, embarrassed, and my self esteem was very low.

In class when the professor would have us stand up to speak, my voice would quiver and again the sweating would start and I'd excuse myself to the restroom and sometimes I wouldn't even come back to class until after it was over to gather my things.

I began drinking very heavily just to subdue the social anxiety I would get because my mind was always thinking about what was to come. I would drink in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. It was awful, a miserable experience.

Thank God there is hope for people who look for a way out of social anxiety disorder.

There are drugs just to keep you from having major panic attacks just so you can go on with your day. The only problem with the drugs for social anxiety disorder is that they keep you in a zombie like state.

My first breakthrough from my social anxiety came from cognitive behavioral therapy. It gave me tools to calm my mind when the anxious thoughts would start to appear.

Eventually, meditation was the best thing to keep my mind focused on the present. My social anxiety started to disappear as I used meditation on a daily basis. It now keeps my mind focused in on the moment at hand and keeps me calm and relaxed.

But the best way to cure the social anxiety disorder is to reprogram the subconscious mind. This is done in a variety of ways now and has been around for thousands of years.

There is hope if you suffer from social anxiety disorder. I am now free of the mental disease that kept me prisoner for half my adult life and I want to help you free your mind too from social anxiety disorder.
