Thanks!

I take pronranolol beta blockers 40mg twice a day. this helps with breathing which in turn helps me to be less paranoid about people watching me. I also started going to a mind mental health group and we all go out for a drink. it helps me that they are so encouraging and it doesnt matter to them if i sometimes just sit quietly. Can you go out at all in a group and be left alone to just get used to the atmosphere? I have bipolar with social anxiety and things just seem to have been changing for me since the pronranolol.
