Hi! I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm having a bit of confusion. So, for about a year and a half I had pretty social anxiety. I couldn't make phone calls in public, or check out library books, and when I had to present in class is stutter through my words at top speed while my heart beat really fast and my whole body shook and I couldn't go up to kick the ball in gym without shaking. I never got treatment but I feel like I'm getting better to some extent. I'm still super uncomfortable checking things out, but I can do it now as long as I don't make too much eye contact or small talk. Now, I can stumble through presentations without stuttering. I still shake when I present in front of others, but the sensation doesn't last for as long afterwards. Do the little improvements mean that I'm slowly getting better or should I ask my parents for some kind of treatment? But another thing, when I'm with friends, I'm loud and over the top even if there's other people around, but when I'm alone or with one person I'm uncomfortable being loud again. is this just normal teenager stuff or do I need treatment? Thanks in advance! (link)

I can totally relate to you! I am the same way and pretty close to you in age. I think it's great that you are improving. You should be very proud of yourself, as I know it's not easy! Getting treatment could be useful, if you want that. I personally dont think that you'd need intensive treatment, but even just getting a therapist could be useful. It was for me at least. When I am with certain friends or certain people that I feel comfortable with I am COMPLETELY different than I am with people I don't know so well. A therapist could help you with making phone calls, and doing uncomfortable things like that. Also, remember that overtime of lots of practice being out of your comfort zone, it does get easier to open up/feel comfortable around new people. As it did for me. One day I decided that I didn't really want to hold back anymore. I'm still really shy, but I am getting better at pushing myself and being very honest. It's a lot more fun being loud and expressing yourslef. I hope maybe this helps you! Just know that you aren't the only one!

It could possibly be from dehydration. Sometimes, when you're not drinking enough water, and go from laying to standing, sitting to standing, etc. Your body can get very dizzy. You can also get very hot, light-headed, and your heart can race. I know from expericance that this isn't fun, but I think by drinking more water, or keeping more hydrated, you'll definatley start feeling better getting out of the tub! Also, if you're taking a hot bath, you could just be dizzy from the heat. As I said, staying hydrated should totally help you! Maybe not right away but over time, you'll see improvements. Also, please don't forget to get up slowly when you are dizzy. Getting up too fast can lead to faiting! Hope this helps!
