Hi I am a newbie here...but I suffer from social anxiety disorder. I have for quite awhile. I am on Effexor it was working well but I think I need a higher dose. I have been avoiding people except my boyfriend who I live with. I have been treating him like crap. It's PMS which my symptoms seem to be much worse during PMS. I have so irritible and moody it's starting to really get to me. I have an appointment to see my doctor on Nov 7th so in the meanwhile I just have to deal...but it's so depressing lately. I am 33 years old, no job and living in a lower class apartment building than I am use to. I moved here to be close to my parents who live just down the street. The building itself is ok but the rent is so cheap that it attracts the usavory type of people here. I think I feel out of place but I love this apartment. I am just such a mess these days that I am trying to figure out what is making me feel so off..besides my lovely chemical imbalance.
