News of Anxiety Disorders

i have social phobia and i am sure that it is a terrible burden. i get so nervous at school that i start ######6 farting in the classroom. well right now i am going to go ######6 bash my face into my mirror so i die and then i will not have to live in misery.

Do you know any home treatment methods? I CAN'T consult a doctor, just don't ask, I have my reasons.

Hi!

Just came across this forum and thought I'd ask for a few opinions...I came across this site: http://www.anxiety2calm.com which has, on it's page entitled "Solutions that work for anxiety, panic attacks and phobias" suggestions for some of the better books on the subject.

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone with agoraphobia, specific to driving, have found if getting a different vehicle has helped.

I think that I can relate to this problem from when I was a teenager. There were times when I would feel an intense sense of nerves but I have no idea as to what was the cause.
