hello
i asked the question about the social anxiety disorder...and then you answered asking if the idea that i had the disorder would have popped into my head even if i hadent seen the magazine article...and to answer the question, no i wouldnt have, i didnt know that it existed, until i read it,and realized i was like that. im still not sure if that changes anything though...does it?
if you have social anxiety, you're also going to have many regular anxiety symptoms (which i have had as well) : uncontrollable shaking because of muscle shaking, fluttering eyes when trying to fall asleep, sleepless nights, always in a "panic" mode.
also, social anxiety starts at an extremely early age, maybe 5 or so.
i want you to know something that'll show you that this country calls everything an anxiety. stage fright is considered a social anxiety. don't most people, even the most confident, get stage fright? they do. and this, which mostly everyone has, is considered a form of anxiety. does this sound reasonable that the whole world suffers from anxiety? maybe but people get over it quite quickly, maybe by taking a few courses or what not, proving that it's not anxiety. anxiety last for years, making it seem unbreakable.
i hope if you do have anxiety that you overcome it however =]] all i'm trying to do is give you a different way of looking at it, because maybe it is and maybe it isn't anxiety. i hope your situation gets better though
