I'm wondering if its even possible if anyone knows any tricks to help with my social anxiety, I'm scared to see a doctor in fear of what he/she will say or think of me. I'm ashamed of how I have twitches and sweating and when I go to speak it's like a frog in the throat, just because I'm in a new place or I walk by somebody on the street and they look at me etc. etc.. I haven't dated for over a year because of those symptoms and more, but I was just asked out and I would love to go but I feel so disgusting when I freak out because I'm not in my element. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank You

Welcome maggier!
I agree with Reah. Hubby was afraid of going to his pdoc and his t, but now that he's been. He isn't afraid. Once you find the right combo of t/pdoc and meds, things get better. Be prepared to have to try a couple t's...it's worth it in the end.

Welcome maggier,
I wish I knew some tricks that could help you, but I don't. Please listen to the very good advice above. The right help can give you so much better quality of life. Is there any way to meet your date in a safe (for you) environment ? I feel so much empathy for you? Please feel free to pm me if I can help. place
