    • About Me

      I am a 47 year old nan who has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and sociophobia. I would like to have friends but find that talking to people face to face frightens me. Going to shops, or anything public has me in a sweat. I have baricaded myself away from life because it is so much safer. My grey cells are stagnating at an amazing rate. I feel stupid and paranoid when in public of any kind. That most times includes family (not my daughters though).

    • Interests

      At the moment I don't have any. I used to enjoy reading, drawing, gardening. But now I just don't have the energy. Just getting up in the morning is exhausting. Actually, DS is now my main interest. Also playing "The Sims". I know I will hear jeers, but I love it. So there. ROFL

  • Support Groups

    • Close Phobia
      Type: Social Phobia

      I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and sociophobia. I find that in situations with people I get anxious, angry, nauseous, sweaty, panicky. My brain seems to stop working. I have trouble finding the right words and remembering simple things. Like take a shopping list.

      Treatments

      Acceptance Not Working
      Acceptance was scary and I got worse I couldn't function the way I used to. All the old tricks I had used stopped working.
      Paxil Not Working
      It stopped working and I developed a craving to self-medicate with alcohol. Stopped the arapax and the cravings stopped.
    • Close Anxiety

      I hate going out anywhere. I finish what I have to, and rush straight home. The only way to stop me from feeling nauseous is to get into bed and pull the covers over me. Talking to people has my heart racing and I blush and feel sick. I sweat and swallow a lot. Going outside is scary.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I didn't realise that not everbody viewed the world the way I did until a few months ago. I often wonder what I did that was so bad. Still don't know.

      Nicotine Gum Working / Worked
      I was pregnant and gave up for 18 months. went out to a party and thought oh yum. took it back up again.
      Nicotine Patch Not Working
