    LOL, it hard to explain how it works, put an effort, it will pay off.

    I was the same way, cant say I’m 100% over it, but it helps

    I’m 17 and I’ve had the disorder since I was 13…

    OK so Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps… I mean you have to really pay attention and listen for it to work…

    Here’s an exercise:

    STOP- visualize a stop sign so you can stop any negative thoughts you are having
    Rewind…
    Replace thoughts with something positive

    I’m pretty sure that’s how it went :P
    I don’t know if that’s how I was taught, but that’s how I’ve done it and it works :)
    Also you might be put on medication such as Prozac and Xanax :/
    (I have found that both of them work pretty well)

    Good luck!

    I’m 15 and have had this since…I was 6, at least.

    When I was little..I made a list of all the things that made me anxious to do, then I rated them on a scale from 1-10 with 1 being the lowest. I organized the list from lowest to highest and then forced myself to do those things until I got used to them.

    I’m still nervous doing most things, but it’s a lot better now.

    Basically, I found exposure to the things I feared helped a lot. One therapist tried to make me try CBT but I resisted completely. It only works if you honestly want it to work and you have to work hard.

    I tried going to a therapist, but to be honest it never worked out for me. The sites below might help.

    Yes, I tried Cognitive Behavior Therapy and it DOES work. I am not completely over my anxiety, but the negative thoughts that consumed my mind have dimished. I think more postively now. I am in therapy at my school now and I wanna try group therapy soon. If you are in college then I highly suggest you look up info about their counseling center and go in and make an appointment. The therapy costs are included into my tuition, so I don’t pay anything! As for the Cognitive Therapy, I did that all on my own. I listened to a 20 step audio series by a gur named Dr. Richards. He had anxiety for 20 years, so he knows what he is talking about. Look up ‘Overcoming Social Anxiety Step-by-Step’ on. Download it and notice that it comes with a workbook too that you will need to read DAILY! That is very important! Good luck to you :)
    Edit: I have never taken meds and I don’t plan to. In response to what the girl above me said, CBT is effective if you do it right and don’t give up! You WILL see results.

    I would speak to a therapist. They might be able to give you a good idea about how this works.
