I'm suffering from social anxiety and I don't know what to do anymore.

I've been on anti-depressants for about 2 years (Lexapro) but I think they may have stopped working as in recent months my anxiety is back. It was originally health anxiety but now seems to be social anxiety.

It's getting to the stage where I dread social interaction and I long to be normal. I tried CBT, but I just wasn't sure it was for me. I only went to one session, but she told me to record my thoughts and after the session I couldn't pinpoint thoughts, just feelings of anguish around social situations, so I didn't go back.

I feel so uncomfortable around people, to the point I'll only see them if alcohol is involved so I can relax. Can anyone relate, or help in anyway? I feel like I'm going insane.
