i wonder from where to start,i am 24 and i've been suffering from social anxiety disorder since i was eleven ,so it started as a childhood disorder and continued till now ...I can't describe how it feels to be socially anxious,it is pure suffering with all the nervousness ,the racing heart beats ,choking sensations ,sweating ,not able to talk or ur mind going absolutely blank ...i suffered in classes ,i used to skip alot during my uni years ...and oh blushing is one of my dreadful symptoms ,i so hate to blush ,i hate the fact that i can't control it ,whenever i am in uncomfortable situation i instantly blush ...they used to call me tomato face :") or give comments like " oh why is ur face this much red,i've never seen such a thing before"
does anyone have a way to stop this ?
