New here, first post. Apologies if this isn't the place

Hi everyone,

I found this website googling symptoms and after reading some of the posts here it puts things into perspective how peoples lives are affected by so much and they're experiences.

I'm a early twenties year old bartender living in the UK and I believe I have social anxiety. I say believe as I'm not sure if my short meeting with my GP was an official diagnosis but I was prescribed Fluxotine tablets and more recently, Beta blockers.


I've googled this site because feel almost like the only person in the world with my perception and or thoughts, this is how I imagine most people with social anxiety feel.


I'm maybe looking to find someone who has had or has any experience with these thoughts and feelings and find some advice or at least to see there are others out there and we're not alone.


My social anxiety is something that affects me every day and has for about 2 years now, I feel it may have been suppressed or tolerable up until university but I had an experience with LSD which seems to have awoken something.


At risk of losing anybody's attention I again just wanted to say Hi to everyone here.

Hi, I recommend finding a therapist trained in DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I'm on meds for my anxiety as well, but I've found DBT to help me significantly. I still need meds, but DBT has given me coping skills to handle anxiety.
