Help! Am I done with Gear forever???

[TxRugby_8]

Today i was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. Ever since i could remember i never hung around large groups of people or was ever really the center of attention, but i never thought it was anything bad, I just thought i was shy or laid back. But lately when i'm around a lot of people, ecspecially people i don't know i start to panic (ie. sweat, get nervous, a little shaky). I mean, i don't understand it, cuz there's nothing about me that should make me do that. I'm bigger then most people, i'm not ugly (from what i can see) and i don't have any thing that really sticks out that i should be worried about. So anyways, i went into the doc about a week ago and they did some tests and shit like written ones, you know all those dumb surveys. They did some other physical stuff too. He also had my girlfriend write down what she saw from me when we were out and stuff. So i get a call today and he says he's almost positive that i have Social Anxiety Disorder. He gave me a bunch of stuff to read up on it and it all sounds like me. He is also knows about my roid use and does all the check ups for me. He told me that this pretty much means that i can't use steroids ever again because not only would it interfere with my medication but it would also make the condition worse. Are there any other bro's out there that are still saucin' while couping with this disorder??? Is there any hope at all??? cheers

Sorry to hear that TxRugby, but take it with a grain of salt. The mind is a very powerfull thing and much of our depression and anxiety is not what I would call a condition of being. Its more a matter of how we see things, our perspective and the way we think. You can learn to change your perceptions and the way you think, just like you can build your body, and in time, you can develope new ways of thought and perception and basically retrain your mind and get rid of anxiety.

That's very good advice Zyg....and very true.

Zyglamail is correct. Anxiety is very much mental. Bruce Willis claims he conquered his stutter by stop worrying about it. Its not easy enough to say "stop thinking about it" i know but just have cofidence bro. When your in a large group of people don't stress yourself out by thinking "I have a social anxiety problem". You'll be fine. Stay strong!

Well happy birthday bro , and sorry to hear that shit , and personaly that is all I think that your doc is talking !!!!

Bro look any body can be diganosed with anything that they want you have , all that shit has so many differant areas and they say everybody copes with it differant , the next thig he'll say is maybe you need some Xanex , then it goes to something else then instead of being an "anti-socialite" you'l be a manic depressive , then you get Zoloft and befor you know it your a giggling idiot.

Bro it sounds to me like maybe your just having anxity attacks , or stress ,stop and think did you ever have this problem before at all , like in any sort of crowd or group function. I know I hate being in a crowd but that is cause I don't like people I'm a dick , the mall at christmas time fuuuckkk I want to start slapping people. Just start hanging around alot of people that you know so they don't make you feel uncomfortable
And if juicing makes you feel good then don't stop , self confidence is the greatest tool that you possess.

You need to just come to the French Quarter for HollowWeen , you'll either be cured or have a nervous breakdown

Tx Rugby,
Just to let you know, I have a social anxiety disorder. I was diagnosed about five years ago. Four the last five years I have been taking Paxil 20mg. Since I found out I have successfully completed atleast five cycles with no side effects. My anxiety really is non existent since taking the medication. I have had no difficulty with taking juice. You may not have the same luck, but just wanted to let you know that it is possible to take juice while you have an Anxiety dissorder.

Good Luck,
danimal

I've always had these attacks, but it's as of late they've getting really bad. i could never stand being in a large group or the center of attention.
