Yabba, I just read your post about having social anxiety and the experiences you had growing up (kids can be so mean, and for no reason at all!!!) I agree with Fallsfall, you really ought to go to the counseling center at your school. I PROMISE you that you have NOTHING to be embarrassed about and no one will judge you there. From the sound of it, you have had dealt with this issue for many years, and there is obviously a depression accompanying your anxiety. I know someone who had similar issues, and was absolutely despondent. He started counseling and was referred to a psychiatrist for meds, and now, a mere 8 weeks later, states that he feels so much better. He is now able to work on his underlying issues, and told me that for the first time, he looks forward to things and is positive about his future. I hope you reach out just a bit farther (though this board is a good start) and find someone who can help you to feel better. Good Luck!
