Suggest Treatment For Social Anxiety And Depression

I am needing a nerve medication prescribed to me. I have such chronic social anxiety that it is literally crippling me and not allowing me to lead the life that I want to live. I can not even leave my house because of all the fear that goes along with being around people and can t have many friends because they know how much anxiety I have and to keep from upsetting me they wont even come to see me because don t I need help so bad and I have no where else to turn to. The panic attacks and the chronic social anxiety that I have is not letting me lead the life that I want to live. I am not depressed at all because I have seen depression and WAS depressed a long time ago and that is not what is going on with me now. I am also a mom of three and have a husband that I have feel like also has to suffer as well with my chronic anxiety because I am so irritable and never want to do those little normal things that families do and create those most wonderful thing as a family to me which is memories...happy memories. Please help me. I don t have a lot of money but I would be willing to spend what little money I do have just to feel normal

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety is fear of a future event which may or may not happen. These future events are always uncertain. Then why worry? You worry and get anxious about going outside, or in public because, you feel that something embarrassing may happen out there. So what? Let it happen? Why so anxious?

Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
