This actually isn’t …
This actually isn’t a disorder at all. Social situations near most of the ing time are such an ugly retarded thing that you shouldn’t even want it. WTF?! I think that people with this made up disorder are only more intelligent, which has actually become a very hated thing, in fact one of the most hated things in the ing world. These so called “social situations” are such a horrible thing, and i think that you know that, and thus it makes you a bit uncomfortable, like it should.

I’ve struggled with …
I’ve struggled with SAD for a long time, and SO wish that I had been able to clearly see it in myself earlier on. I just umed that it was “who I am”. I can tell you now, after years of alcohol self-medication, throwing myself into scary situations despite panic attacks, and years of therapy, what has helped me the most is meditation. It is an amazing method to retrain your mind and I sincerely encourage anyone struggling with this to look into it.

PLEASE, I’m VERY against ALOT of pharmaceutical drugs. If Its not tried and true I don’t want it…….And HOLY crap look at all the side effects on that new drug…..FORGET IT!!!
However, I have this disorder and I know How miserable it is AND I eat right and Exercise!!!
I agree that a healthy lifestyle works on a lot of problems… but somethings it just doesn’t
only scientilogist uses “Psuedo” Science.

I’m 17 and was diagnosed with this when I was about 14 (suffered from it for a few years before the diagnosis though). It sucks, but I’ve managed to overcome it a little bit. i’m fortunate I never made the decision to turn to drugs or alcohol to cope.

I have no problem …
I have no problem speaking to someone if they speak to me first, but as for starting a conversation, that’s the tricky part. I think I have this fear that they’re going to ask me to repeat myself, and then I’m not going to be able to keep a straight face as I say it the second time. The other problem is I just literally can’t maintain eye contact. It’s like I’m touching a hot surface and I have to pull away. Or like I’m watching someone through binoculars and suddenly they spot me.

i’ve been trying to just blurt out the first thing that comes into my head to people at work. like the stuff were i think, ”well if i say that, people will just thing im an idiot”. but alot of the time people just find it funny, or it starts quite an interesting conversation that would have otherwise, never taken place.

I hope you are doing good in overcoming the disorder… Tell me what happened with ur doctor and what was his/her methodology to cure the problem… I have the same problem and I’m thinking about going to a psychiatrist but i don’t wanna start a drug story cuz i have always been worried of being addicted to drugs especially when it comes to such problem because, in this case, pills are usually very addictive.

psychiatry is a …
psychiatry is a psuedo science….i understand your SAD, ive had it and been addicted to drugs because of it, been through rehab and seen all kinds of doctors…..i suggest you get off psych meds cause there is no science to back it up and could potentially really harm you….i really suggest you see a therapist that does not push drugs on to you because they just mask the issues you need to deal with….do this…for 3 weeks eat right, exercise an hour a day, sleep right, deal with issues=cure

u seem like u need some guidance. im 20 and have had SAD since i was about 14, its not going away so far and im literally still taking different medications and still working on the SAD. i highly suggest you show your parents this video, and dont be embarassed, its a real mental illness,ucant help it. explain to them what SAD is, and how badly u cant function in everyday life. hopefully they will understand better. also ask to see a psychiatrist so he can back u up on the whole thing.

I grew up the only gay guy in my bigoted rural town. I’m pretty sure that’s what caused my SAD.

This is a wonderful …
This is a wonderful program. I’ve tried Lexapro, but my sexual libido suffered as I took it. Also, I felt so numb as I took it. My doctored prescribed me Xanax (alprazolam). I found it really helpful. I would take 2 tablets of 0.5mg. My doctor has sinced stopped prescribing this to me because of its addicting components. Now he only prescribes a small amount if I have to take plane rides maybe twice a year. Xanax has been the best medication for me.

During my isolation in my room ever since little ive always liked video games. Now mind you im not the smartest kid in school i consider myself to be a 60%-65% student in high school and i have never won awards, i hate school presentations but yet do it to get the mark for the sake of my parents. i hate public events like a bbq or sumthing.i can handle it if i just go to remote locations like a empty school field with say 2 or 3 of my closest frens but i dunt like to go out with alot of people.

for example when my dad tells me to do a simple request such as asking the waiter lady how much londer will the food take to come i can’t do it, i dont know why it may have been the fact there were many people in that resteraunt that day or i dnno. And yet after we’ve recieved our food my dad is left cheesed at me. When being forced to do sumthing mygut like tighten’s up mega fast and like i think twice perhaps even 3 times if i can really do this and come to the conclusion that i cant’ (4)

My parents usually give me a hard time after they ask me to come out and i deny, but like i don’t know what to do, i don’t want to tell them that i might have a disorder. And even if i do tell them chances are they’ll probably just label it extreme shyness. I dont have any bad habits i dont smoke, nor drink i usually perfer to be left alone in my roombut at the same time i dont want the people close to me cheesed off. Like that one other previous user i too hate being forced to do sumthing.(3)

and i really can’t help it. My parents often get upset at me because i dont come out with them, they think im just too embarresed to come out with them and when they say this it kinda makes me feel like a jerkbut i can’t help it like i just dont want to confront the public i dont know why. (2)

Hi , guys. wow im …
Hi , guys. wow im still trying to cope with the fact that i seriously might have this disorder. Ever since i was young i felt that i was different from my peers, i didn’t know what it was but i just had a feeling. I am 17 year old male, ri and im not sure if i just have extreme shyness or SAD. From reading some of the other users comments, i too feel more secure in the comfort of my room/house. Whenever asked to come outside to play, shop, eat i have a gut feeling that just takes over me (1)

Wow, this doctor is an expert at this. He is a great example of what a “psychiatrist” really is!! Most doctors would just throw medicine at you without talking about the issues. This guy is gifted and has the desire to help people.
