    • Close Shyness

      I'm a mental health nurse and have suffered from shyness from my teens. I've overcome a lot but still have issues.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Have to remind myself to think positively and not let my anxiety get the better of me. It usually works.
      Self-help Somewhat Helpful
      Self hypnosis and re-educating myself about some negative ideas, does help.
      Socializing Somewhat Helpful
      Meeting new people always helps. Being friendly with people and having the conversation flow is brilliant - a positive attitude is needed. Always initially nerve-wracking and difficult - especially when you speak to the wrong person and they make you feel like rubbish - move away quickly it's them not you! What I have found over the years is that this is the one that seems the most difficult everytime (!) but actually isn't.
    • Close Schizophrenia

      I'm a mental health nurse, newly qualified and I wish to be informed from the clients perspective.
