Hey all,
Im new to this forum and found it in a desperate attempt to overcome this social anxiety. It's ruining my life so much so i walked out of work the other day (which is so unlike me as i worry about not having stability and crave security). I have an intense fear of groups of people talking to me or looking at me. I got bright red and my heart races and i feel sick even if someone says hi or mentions my name. It's stopping me from doing what I want to do. I have one more year of uni and then I'll have to endure change which i think is really going to destroy me.
A year ago i was put on 20mg of paroxetine a day and reffered to a therapist who then refferred me to a psychologist. I have been on the waiting list for 8 mths now and so have looked into something a bit different. I phoned up a local hypnotheropist who specialises in dealing with those sufferring from social anxiety and phobias. It costs £40 a session of which for a poor student is gonna take break the bank. But i'm desperate to stop feeling this way. Has any1 else tried this sort of treatment? how has it worked for you?
thanks
