angelakswopeParticipantI have fear of public speaking. I get panicked whenever i am around in public. Thing is you can tell just how uncomfortable i am and people wonder why, what’s wrong, what did they do, they just asked a question/said something to be friendly what’s this response or lack of.. why i react like this, you know.. I am taking medication to overcome the anxiety. But i don’t know if its working or not. I was reading this article http://www.phobiaman.co.uk/is-phobia-treatment-for-me/ and now i think i should give a try to therapy sessions. I don’t know how effective are these therapies. looking for some advice before joining

maddyoneilParticipantDepends on your anxiety or social skills. Find a therapist who is really good with Anxiery or Autism. My therapist is helping me with using strategies, overcoming my breakup, family issues.

smancentParticipantIf you tried everything yourself to cope but you feel that you need help, like it’s too overwhelming to handle alone, it’s always good to seek the help of a professional.

patriotic1ParticipantYeah but also other things can help relieve stress too

foureyesParticipantIMO, and a person currently in therapy. If you think you need therapy, you probably need therapy. There is too much of a taboo/stignatism about therapy, that the people that might need it dont reach out/get help because of their idea of what family and society in general think. I dont know what your fanily might think, but as general “nobody” I believe in prentative mainetenance, and not waiting to a point of complete helplessness before seeking help. Your welcome to reach out to me if you need additional perspective or support. Empowering each other is the least we can all do help others, even those people we may not know. Good luck, and best wishes earthling.

katiemaharParticipantAs stated above, dealing with stress can be very drowning! Although, I don’t have anxiety, and I’m not trying to speak for those who do, but, I hear that reading a book or even better writing a story is a great way to distract your thoughts. Im not saying to forget what you’re stressed about, I’m saying to do something differently and see if you like that outcome better or not.
