im new too this so any help would be great. iv veen suffering from social anxiety for over 3 years. it started when i was pregnent with my youngest son. i never did anything about it and tried to controle it myself... last monday i finally went to the doctor and he gave me 50mg of sertraline... the 1st few nights i could not sleep i was so scatty. forgetting things... now im on day 6 i do t feel sick no more but i dred going out of the house im more worried about having to go to the shop. (i dont no if this is because i sufferd from anxiety alot in that shop)... so i guess i jist wonderd if anyone can tell me what im up for in the next week or so as im going to see my doctor in about 10 days. Thanks in advance

    That what social anxiety is, worrying about anything and everything when

    you come into contact with people or even anticipating coming into contact

    with others. The pills help, but they won't get rid of the worrying, that's something

    you have to do.

      Obviously your not as confident as you think you are. What is preventing you from making eye contact ?
