What does a person do that has severe anxiety and social phobia?
I have many physical symptoms. They worsen when I go to places like the grocery store. My vision gets weird and I feel like I can’t focus. I have a past history of alcohol problems. I have been sober for about 2 yrs. I don’t know what to do anymore though because I haven’t ever had a real job, I dropped out of college, and I have tried anti-depressants and they didn’t work for me even at high doses. I have also gone to therapy and read an anxiety work book. I feel very hopeless. Can anyone recommend something I could try that might help it. I used to just try and hide my anxiety. It is to the point where if I am out with a friend they notice and ask if I am ok.
I am not a violent person. I am a wife and mother of two children. What happened at Va Tech was very sad. I am and never will be a person like that. That comment was very rude and uncalled for.

My sister suffered from depression and anxiety, she found that a lot of it got better when she focussed on eating more healthy and excerising more. Also, it might sound fruity, but meditation helped a lot for hre anxiety. She was still using medication, but less and less. And eventually she stopped using it altogether.
Good luck!
First, relax – my blog has a time celebrated technique: myspace.com/thedavezone
Second, you need some sort of professional therapy. Despite my formal training in traditional psychology, I’ve seen the best results with Dianetics. Go to dianetics.org and find a facility nearest you.
Have you tried a neurologist or endocrinologist. Sometimes symptoms of other problems can manifest themselves to appear like psychiatric issues. Good luck.
whatever you do… try not to go all VA Tech on some school…
I think you should have therapy with some nice and committed person, but if you can’t for some reason, then you should start doing yoga and focus especially on breathing lessons. To control the breathing is the way to control much anxiety, only it should be done in the right way.
Besides, some people feel better when they imagine those that frighten them in their underwear. It’s not something I should recommend, but it’s your decision.
i have submitted my problem yesterday .you please share it and its answers.. i can understand whats an anxiety.. yuo feel like to do alot. and theres nothing for you to do.. its like u are seeking for something and u are not getting this..out side u seems calm but inside theres a storm..i wish you get the right things for your life.. and get the things you will be happy with.. goodluck.
I had the same problem….. symptoms very person to person. The main symptoms I had were
1. Restlessness or feeling keyed up or "on the edge"
2.Being easily fatigued
3.Difficulty concentrating
4.Irritability
5.Muscle tension — shakiness, headaches
6.Sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep; or restless, unsatisfying sleep)
7.Excessive sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath, and various gastrointestinal symptoms .
when i feel one coming on I stop close my eyes think to myself " every thing is ganna be alright" keep saying that to calm yourself down and keep your breathing under control.
Speak to a doctor or a psychiatrist.
Alcohol and other substances can have long terms effects on the body and mind even once you stop using.
People tend to do well when they seek out help from a professional. There are a wide variety of resources. If you have a history of alcohol use, I would consider contacting your local hospital for substance use programs. They can help you to connect with resources and supports in your local community.
There are also income support programs to help people who are struggling and looking for help. Speaking to your doctor is a good start on how to get the services that you need.
