I’m With You
It's great that you're less shy than you used to be. What helped you? You should be so proud of yourself! I'm always interested in what's helped people with their shyness.I'm sure you'll find the book as helpful as it was to me. Keep in touch and let me know how you're doing!
Hug
Thanks for the hug I needed it. The last year has been hard. I lost a job that I loved, went back to school and started a knew career. It's hard trying to fit into a new place with new people, especially when you are very shy but things are getting better. Hope you are doing well..

Close Shyness
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- This has been very helpful, although I still have shyness. I was lucky to find good therapists. Always be cautious - just because someone is a therapist, doesn't mean they're going to do the right thing.
- Self-help Working / Worked
- I've been helped a lot by reading books, spirituality, journaling, etc.
- Singing Working / Worked
- I didn't know singing was a form of therapy! ;-) I'm a musician and I do find playing music and singing to be very healing in general.
- Celexa Working / Worked
- I took this while I was in an emotionally abusive marriage. One year later (almost to the date) I finally found the strength to leave. I've been taking Celexa for 8 years now - I can't believe it's been that long. It is extremely helpful, but I have since lowered the dose from 30mg to 20mg. Right now I'm working on lowering the dose from 20mg to 10mg. I hope to go off it someday. But frankly, if I had to feel the shame I felt while not on it, I would take it for the rest of my life.
