I have and I hate it. My social anxiety is so bad that it gets in the way of my life. I was actually diagnosed with social phobia a few years ago and went through a CBT program for it that helped, and still helps when I remember to use the skills.
But not having worked regularly in the last decade and a limited number of friends locally has really taken a toll. I'm now at the point where I'm borderline agoraphobic. I even find going out to medical appointments hard. I can't schedule more than 3 a week or I get too stressed out and shut down. I'm lucky I have the great friends I do, and we all get along with e-mail / text and actually only seeing each other in person about every 6 weeks or so. I wish I was different. splitimage |

Yep. Severe depression, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety and possibly avoidant personality disorder. Then they wonder why I get really anxious when they suggest group therapy

I feel mental health is a natural reaction for some of us to what we experience. We are AS IS... |

Having an intellect capable of recognizing my situation and having feelings about being denied the basic human needs that almost everyone else assumes and enjoys is not merely a chemical imbalance. |

This does indeed seem odd... I’m sorry you have to put up with all this...

All of us here are more than intellectually capable of recognising our situation. I agree it isn’t merely a chemical imbalance. Hugs

I had been diagnosed with depression by my regular doctor. As far as social anxiety goes, I haven't been diagnosed with that. But I probably have social anxiety, too. I am very shy with strangers; and I have trust issues from others, even those I know very well.
