Phobia Support Group
A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.

I suffer from Sociophobia which means i find it hard to be able to join in conversations or talk to people.
i also have Social Phobia which means im scared of what other people think about me or what people will say about me. i think this is because of being bullied at school.
i Wish i could get over it and be able to go out and not worry that everyone is laugthing at me behind my back. i try and avoid situations where there is going to be people around my age because i worry that they will all gang up against me.
It doesn't help that i have low self esteem and i really have no idea what its like to fit in with people.
does anyone have any ideas how i could start socialising without feeling threatened or anxious. my family say to go out and just get on with it but it hard when i am on my own and i can't exactly bring my mum to socialise with me. my only two friends are away at uni and college so i hardly see them, and when they are home they have coursework to do. :) xxx

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I was not exactly bullied at school, but all the 'popular crowd' made it quite clear I didn't fit, so now i'm convinced no-one likes me!
The only advice I can give is to joina group that your interested in or a support group and try and meet like minded people
and take it slowly one small step at a time

I was bully by my hole family and at school. I did not know that the infancy stage was the time that help you to build connections, after reading this I was able to retrieve the memories from my body.
