In reply to Does anybody with SPhobia have similar thoughts?, posted by tepiaca on June 9, 2004, at 2:05:19
Hi There,
What you have is classic SAD and if this causes depression it is most likely Atypical. Atypical Depression consists of phobias like SAD and GAD. A person with this trait like myself is said to have onion skin. We are easily hurt by negative criticism. The best med. for this disorder has been Nardil until Pfizer decided to change the formula. I have to take Valium also because of GAD caused by child abuse.> Hello
> I´m so curious about if anybody out there suffering from Social Phobia has similar
> thoughts and feelings . I just would like to know wheter this is common or not in you guys.
>
> For example.
> If I am with a person , I´m always thinking about what the other people is thinking about me.
> lets say for example , I am in a restaurant with 3 or 4 people , we finish eating and then the bill has to be payed . The waiter brings the bill to the table and puts it in the center. I get very freaked if I don´t take the bill first to pay , this is because the other people migth think that I dont want to pay the check ,that I want somebody else to pay for my meal , because I want to take advantage of them and many things like that.

> Other example would be , If I see a person that ask me to buy him any kind of stuff he sells , like a pencil or a flower , . It is very difficult to me to say "No I´m not interested rigth now , thank you" , If I do this , and dont buy anything to the guy , I immediately start thinking about all the bad things that the seller has in his mind about me , like : you are
> a very mean person , Look at me I´m poor and you dont want to help me , you dont suffer like me all the day trying to sell this stuff only to have the sufficient money to barely eat 1 time a day etc etc . SO I Feel very frustated.

> This feelings are just and example but I could say a thousands of them more .They are always with me during all the day . The more people I see the worse my thougths are , so I feel very terrible .This is why is impossible to me to have relationships in life

> Does anybody out there has something a little similar ??
> or can you tell me how do you feel in front of people??
