How To Cure Social Anxiety

Social anxiety is nightmare right? All you want to do is enjoy yourself and then all of a sudden your stomach cramps, your mind starts playing with intrusive thoughts, your heart starts pounding and all you want to do is get out of there.

Well the get out of there bit occurs because of the "flight mechanism" your body doesn't know how to deal with the social anxiety so it tells you to get the hell out of there.

Anxiety in social situations is really more common than you would think. Watch the video to the right to understand more about how the process and symptoms of social anxiety disorder come out.

I remember the first time I got social anxiety was after I had started to get massive panic attacks. They came out of the blue and one of the major things that happened to me was that I couldn't drive my car anymore. Yeah sounds stupid doesn't it but because I had to drive the anxiety took it out on me in this way.

So I started working from home instead, luckily I had the ability to do this. But then I became isolated because I wasn't actually seeing anyone in any sort of social environment. Therefore when I went out to the shops or for a drink with friends I would start having all these irrational thoughts, most of them were to just get up and go to be honest.

Then I went to a high powered workshop at work and needed to get on the plane. I was so anxious I couldn't even deal with sitting next to anyone. I bought loads of relaxing stuff that you sprayed in your mouth to calm you down and anything else that was readily available.

It came to my turn to do a presentation and man I was shaking and so nervous but managed to do what I thought was a great job. Then afterwards my boss slated me in front of everyone and said I just ramble and it was terrible.

On the way home I felt like crying but being stuck in the airport surrounded by people didn't help. My head was pounding, my heart was pumping and I really felt like I was falling apart. I really did just want to pack the job in and tell them to get lost. But we need a job heah so it simply wasn't that easy.

Trying to cheer myself up I thought I would pop out and have a beer with friends that would be sure to cheer me up. Well after arriving at the pub. All hell broke loose and I stood there battling with myself to take control for over an hour. Social anxiety is just crap. How can you go out to enjoy yourself and end up having to deal with such irrational thoughts all the time.

On to how to cure social anxiety then

Don't isolate yourself and make sure that you are getting out enough. Try and socialise more, you know the more you do something that the easier it gets in the end. Remember it is just your mind playing tricks on you. Learn to organise your thoughts and be positive about entering any social situation.

Rather than thinking I don't want to do this, look at the positives like wow this is going to be really cool, I'll meet loads of new people and have a good time and a good opportunity to meet new friends.

Remember to smile at anyone and everyone if you start smiling at them. When they smile back this will make you feel a hundred times better and also more comfortable.
