Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Essentially I need just a short clip from a movie or anything that shows social anxiety in children, like embarrassment in class, extreme shyness. Any ideas of movies to search or a site where I can find this would be VERY helpful! Thank you!

The movie ‘The Sixth Sense’ with Haley Joel Osment would be good, because the boy is antisocial because of his condition. It’s a very famous movie, so lots of people would be able to relate to it.

Does anyone who feels awkward or anxious in social situations overcompensate and try to prove to themselves or others that they don’t have a problem by being involved in numerous activities, groups, and events?

For example, I know a guy who seems to have social anxiety, yet he is a president of a club, a brother in a fraternity, a member of an activity group, and a bunch of other things. This surprises me since I would think someone with this problem would avoid all social situations. What do you guys think?

Absolutely-I have social anxiety and am very involved in school, I was in dance, figure skating, and cheerleading for years. He probably just forces himself to do things that make him uncomfortable because they’ll benefit him, that’s how I have to think about it.

I don’t have a lot of money but I am trying to find any free/affordable social anxiety support groups to goto in NYC? How do I go about it?

Contact your local human services department.

Free support groups exist in almost all large metropolitan cities.

I want to know all the differences. And how often do normal people have moments in their lives when they feel like they have social anxiety?

I used to have bad anxiety and what your experiencing at the current moment, so I know what you a going through. I looked everywhere for a solution and I find one that the first time I tried I started to cry as it worked so well and I keep doing it whenever I get a anxiety attack, which has reduced by 95% because of this technique. So I want to try to help a few people overcome this. I want you to try this and email me back of how it went.

Next time your in a situation that your having a anxiety or panic attack I want you to stay where you are and observe what you are feeling, then I want you to speak to your anxiety in your mind and tell it to give you the worst anxiety attack it can give you, now your anxiety will reach a new peak but keep telling it to give you more and more and more, while staying where you are (stay no matter what because its only sensations within the body) and then at the peak of the anxiety attack it will pop like a baloon and the symtons will come down, because asnxiety has a peak. The reason you get anxiety is because you are dreading having one in the near future (leaving that place where you are while getting worse is a wrong thing to do as you are leaving while its in a upward trend with the feeling), therefore have that lingering feeling. When you REALISE that anxiety has a peak then starts to come down, you know that nothing happened to you exept sensations within the body.

Then you tell your anxiety that when it wants it can come back and you will be here, meaning you are not fearing it. The reason it comes back is because of the fear of having one. This is a POWERFUL succesfull thing which has changed my life and has reduced my anxiety by 95%. Let me know how you went.

Hey everyone, my name is Mark. I’m 27 years old, from the UK and I have social phobia otherwise known as Social Anxiety Disorder. SAD is a fear of social situations and centres around the paranoid belief that people are being judgemental or overly critical of us. This makes the sufferer hermit like and stops them from living a normal happy lifestyle because they are constantly afraid that their actions may in some way embarrass them or cause them severe humiliation.

Paxil is a highly recommended medication to treat social anxiety and other problems- for people 18 years or older. For someone who is 16 with the problem, and possibly with depression, is Paxil still recommended? What are some other medications that will reduce or treat social anxiety without the harmful mental affects that alot of anti-depressants carry. Also, are these harmful mental affects like thoughts of suicide or murder common?

Medications used to treat social anxiety in adults (Paxil, Zoloft, etc.) unfortunately carry an FDA BLACK BOX WARNING for use in children and adolescents. They say they do cause suicide and homicidal thoughts.

Personally, the FDA is unlikely to issue this warning unless there is validity. Especially since anything involving drug companies profit becomes highly political.

Be very careful taking advice from Yahoo answers regarding taking these drugs. Invest some time in researching it. It could be your life you are talking about.

What should I do if I have social anxiety and depression and I dont have health insurance? Where can I get free treatment or meds?I live in California.

I agree with the last answer you received, pot or alcohol is not the answer. Look in the directory for free help. People donate money for these kinds of cases all over the US. They donate to help people that cannot afford the high cost of doctors, and medication. You’ll have to research a little, but in the long run it will pay off….
Good luck, and don’t listen to the others.

I have been diagnosed with clinical depression, but it’s been untreated. I’ve been thinking for years that I might have social anxiety, because when I read the symptoms some I agree with – but I’m not sure if it’s just another lovely facet of depression or really something else.

Question: does it count as social anxiety when you feel ‘okay’ in public when you are with someone you know/familiar with?

It can be very difficult. Being in public places can be a real chore, you feel anxious and weary of people. You don’t want anyone to get to close to you or talk to you….but everyone is different and mental illnesses manifest themselves differently in different people. I’m sure there are some people who suffer from it who feel "okay" when they are with a familiar person, personally I always feel anxious, I just try to plan out my course as much as I can so I don’t have to linger too long and deal.
