News of Anxiety Disorders

I've been looking for information on this certain OCD for quite some time, all with no luck. I've seen numerous doctors about it but all of them are a bit, well, confused. I've been on Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and even Xanny all to no avail.

Anyway, this OCD started when I was about 6 years old. I'm now 24.
The circumstances that lead to this OCD are quite personal, but since I am in desperate ...

Hey.

First I'd like to state my problem, which I am not entirely sure it is OCD-related (one psychology diagnosed it as a probia).

Here it is, since birth I can always remember being shy. Shy enough to avoid pretty much all social opportunities. I don't mean events, but absolutely anything dealing with social interaction.

Always some sort of fear/angst towards seeing people but more importantly, BEING SEEN BY PEOPLE. I blush extremly easy around anyone. All it takes is someone to stare at me and 99% of the time I will blush. I have what I believe are ...
