Need help for social anxiety disorder
HiI need help for social anxiety disorder.
I went to a local homoeopath and he told me only God could help me with my emotional problems, so then i went to another one and was told to take Cannabis Indica.
I never heard of this remedy before, so i decided not to take it.
My anxiety increases before and after I go out or have people over, but never while I am out or having people over. And when I am not feeling anxious about being around people, I just feel blah and have no desire to be around people at all.

1.Describe your main suffering?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Compulsive Overeater
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Rash,,flaky skin, chronic yeast infections, sinusitis vulvodynia, food and chemical intolerances which cause may different symptoms such as: dizziness, headaches, anxiety, bladder irritation, bloating, swollen itchy eyes, muscle weakness, muscle pain, nausea, tiredness
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Anxiety, and sometimes experience depression.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
I have racing thoughts and pulse, with sweating and tight feeling in the solar plexis area, hot face and sometimes a feeling like Im floating, I cant think straight either. I feel that everything is out of my control and I feel frightened by that. I dont like to be scared and at that moment I think about dying, I want to die because this world seems to scary and overwhelming for me
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
I have had Generalized Anxiety Disorder since childhood and went through times which I felt very overwhelmed by life and would pray to God to just let me come home to him. I always had some social anxiety especially if i had to give talk or present a project in school or give a prayer in church. I also felt shy and sometimes inadequate. Things go a lot worse however about eight years ago when I was forced to deal with my drug addicted son spreading lies about me and my husband. He did this to solicit sympathy from people so they would give him money He would then use that money for drugs. We lived in a small town and it wasnt long before all eyes were on us. It took me back to my childhood when I was judged by teachers, classmates and some of my friends parents because I was the sister of a crazy drug addict; only this time I was the mother of a crazy drug addict.People blamed me for his drug addiction and believed what my son was saying about my husband and I. Its also all tied in with other things relating to my childhood, such as being bullied(verbally),and my mother accusing me of something that I didnt do.
When these things started happening with my son I couldnt handle that people could think such things about me, so I just started to avoid places that I knew these people would be.I thought moving away would change things, but it didn't, and now, even though things are better with my son, and he has apologized to me several times I still cant seem to shake the anxiety and depression I feel about how people treat each other. I feel like I dont fit in anywhere either.
