Hi ppl. I'm new to this site. It's good to share my thoughts and read others thoughts on this problem we all have in common. I will keep this brief as I realise long posts are annoying to read. I have suffered from social anxiety for about 6 years now and it has completely taken over my life. I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Every few months it seems to get worse. I've tried many drugs and some psycotherapy which help for a while but gradually the problem comes back. I feel one day I will reachthe point wherenothing can take the pain away and I really don't know how I will cope when this happens. My life has gone down the toilet since this started and it seems to be a one way ticket. Howdo I break the cycle? I've heard all the expertise you can think of,but none seems to work. This is like my own personal hell on earth.
