Hello. I have social anxiety. I used to be very outgoing and very fun... the past couple of years though I can barely go anywhere out in public. I can't eat at resturants, or speak infront of a crowd. I feel a lot of tension in my neck and feel like my face will have some kind of a muscle spasm. I don't know what to do...Can you help?
