How To Overcome Severe Social Anxiety Disorder: 5 Tips (That REALLY Work!)

[chrisparkin]

I have been battling M.E. for years along with social phobia so the gym is not really an option. Before the M.E. kicked in, though, I was running up and down mountains and going to the gym. I still had problems with social phobia. For me, for sure, getting in shape was not enough. Tbh, I don't think there is a simple formula that is going to heal everyone. We are all different. We all have different hands to play. A lot of this stuff dates back to childhood and childhood traumas. Getting bigger biceps and building a more positive self- image I'm sure helps, but I can't see it overcoming issues that have roots deep down.
Coincidently, I first started to go down with social phobia when I was in China (well, Taiwan). I think the fact that we stand out more over there and get much more attention than we would do back in the UK, can exacerbate problems that are already there.
I respect and appreciate what you are doing, mate. Social phobia is a hell. If you manage to help just one person, even just a little bit, then your efforts will have been worthwhile. It was a massive comfort to me just to discover that there are other people out there struggling with the same problems. (My heart goes out to them big time). Until that point I thought I was just a madman and there was no hope.
Keep up the good work!

It’s really hard going places where I live... people get mugged, elderly get jack, people Robbing stores, beer runs... just a bunch of people doing bad things daily
