Hate being shy!

I am 23 year old male. And I have social anxiety disorder. I rarely go out. I worry about what people think of me & that I will look like a fool etc...I am soft-spoken and quiet. I want to be more outgoing but there is something inside stopping me. I try to avoid people. Basically I have all the symptoms associated with shyness.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I have same problem. I can't make friends I don't invite people to my house. So feel left out. I know how it feels. i talk too little and basically don't know what to talk about. I feel jealous for people who talk much and makes friends easily. I am also looking for some medicine . If something works out for you please let me know.

i am not able to come up with any specific remedy because of lack of symptoms.

however, SULPHUR, GELSIMIUM, BARYTA CARB and PULSATILLA are close to your personality.

please start with a dose of SULPHUR 1M and note if there is any change.

next, after 2 weeks or so, if there is no improvement, you may go for PULSATILLA 1M one dose everyday for a week.

he is a loner
school is a torture and prison(his words)
he is very intelligent
he gets headaches everyday in his forehead


at his worst...he becomes very quiet...anxious ..quick heartbeat..cannot talk...cries easily....refuses to go to school or out with family

like this since birth...always crying. had to nurse him every half hour to keep him quiet....

he is worse when he has to do some thing where interaction with people is required like school or guests etc

warmth.(not in bed though)..fresh air... make him better

we have moved a lot which has also caused him to not be able to adjust..

better in warm weather..hated water in childhood...


moody..mild ..anger erupts without warning..easily offended..arguing...lazy...


no particular feeling associated with thunder storm

likes consolation...which make him cry harder..but feels better after a long cry...he can cry anywhere


sometimes while concentrating he starts sucking his fingures....not causeless weeping to him but its for little things


he likes his siblings (wants his separate time though from everyone)where no one talks to him...does not eat with family as it disgusts him to see people eat.



dreams of tornadoes lately


craves pickles...aversion eggs and milk

thirsty a lot for sodas icy cold...he has a drink in his hand most of the time....but for soda only

15..no food allergy..but eats very selective foods

16..sweats on top body..head neck and trunk

17..stool tends towards constipation...takes a long time in toilet

18..sleep position is not particular

19..not applicable

20...he feels he is different bcz he cannot or does not want to make friends..they give him headache. he like to sit alone in class .

arg nit gave him some help as did gelsemium but i do not know the potency..sulphur was tried too which was baaad


this shyness,, social phobia..runs in family..heart disease ..diabetes and tb has shown up in some ppl too


he is healthy looking fair comlexion (for south asian)..average height..neat appearence

the boy is very close to SILICEA.

please give him a daily dose of SILICEA 200C for a week and note if there are any changes in the next 2 weeks.

if some changes are noticed, wait till the improvements stabilize. later, a dose of SILICEA 1M every week for several weeks.

this may take some 2 to 3 months before you can see an appreciable change in his personality.
 
rishimba last decade
okay...i do not have 200c but i do have 30c and 1m....
i can get 200c in one months time and then i will start the medicine.

i will get back with you after that
thankyou for your attention.
 
dani11 last decade
in that case, please give a dose of SILICEA 1M one dose every week and note response in three weeks.
 
rishimba last decade
okay sir i will do that....thankyou.
 
dani11 last decade
dr rishimba....i have given him 3 weekly doses of silicea 1 m....as advised......3rd week is not over yet. but i wanted to report that in 1st and 2nd week there was some positive response.. he was happier smiling and talking and not stressed out . his headache was better. i did not mention this but he ususally complains of sore gums when eating that also was much better.
but after 3rd dose he seems to have backtracked to where we started. he is weeping again and tense specially after 5 in theevening ...thinking about school just makes him anxious and upset........
what would you advise.
 
dani11 last decade
Dr Rishimba....please repy. even though i wrote that my son is back to square one but now after about 9 days after 3rd dose i would say there is slight improvement in his overall attitude towards things he dislikes..he is more accepting.its just a small change but noticeable. he still cries and weeps. and gets angry throws things. is there anything to do with needles!!! strangely he notices needles now (never before) and tells me someone will get hurt with these.....

PLEASE DO REPLY
 
dani11 last decade
please wait for some days. he is going through some proving symptoms. this will some subside.

after two or three weeks you would notice some more positive changes in him.

report to me after 3 weeks.
 
rishimba last decade
YOU REPLIED !!!!!!! I had given up on you :) ok i will write after 3 weeks....i understand that i DO NOT give him any more dose of silicea!!!!!right??
 
dani11 last decade
