  Hello, I am posting this here because there was an incident I had with my boyfriend 3 months into our relationship (we have now been together for about one year) and I am having trouble moving past it. Here is the situation:We were heading up to my room one night to go to bed, and he asked if I wanted to have sex. For the first time since we started dating, I actually didnt feel in the mood, partially because I was just very tired and only wanted to cuddle. I explained this to him, but for the...

  Is it possible for social anxiety to worsen and appear only in romantic situations, even after receiving therapy and successfully recovering from Social Anxiety Disorder?I have been dating this guy for almost 5 months now (this is my first real relationship, btw), and it has been great. We've only had a couple of bad arguments, and he is very supportive and compassionate. I am very happy with how our relationship is right now, yet I find myself becoming severely nervous and insecure over the...

  Hello! A week ago my boyfriend and I decided to officially start dating, and we have hung out at my house 3 times since then. I am a senior in high school and he is a junior, and neither of us has much relationship experience. I am currently living in recovery from social anxiety disorder, and I have been very honest with him about the anxiety I have about relationships. I am usually very aware of my emotions and have learned to identify them pretty effectively. However, since we started...

  Hello, I have actually been pretty good lately with anxiety (specifically social), but with it being my senior year in high school and all of my college applications being (nearly) done, I am feeling VERY worried. For reasons I will not bore any of you with, the colleges I am applying to are almost all reach schools, and so realistically, I could get into none of them. At that point, I do have a back-up school I still really like, but of course it will still be disappointing.I have thought...

  So currently I am putting together my application for college, and have been thinking about what to write about for my essay(s). Some of the prompts suggested writing about overcoming failure or a challenge, and the first thing that comes to mind for me with that prompt is my recovery from social anxiety disorder. My parents agreed this would be a good thing to write about so that I could show the colleges that I am very strong and have perserverance and determination.However, while researching...

  So I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder last October, and then recieved CBT for about 4 months until I was better enough that I did not need the therapy anymore. The first week after finishing therapy was amazing; I could talk to almost anyone comfortalby, even when they were mad at me or disagreed with what I was saying. Once quarantine started (For me it was in March) I feared losing these skills, and I think I might have been right.Last night I had an interveiw with this program I am...
