My Social Anxiety (part 1)
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
This is my introduction video to my Social Anxiety vlog. I have had Social Anxiety my whole life. Anxiety runs in my family so most of my anxiety is biological. I watched a few other YouTube vlogs of people with Social Anxiety and it inspired me to make my own. My Anxiety was about 3/10 when making this video. The symptoms of my panic attacks include: dry mouth, blushing, shaky hands/legs, rapid heart beat, rapid swallowing, eye watering, butterflies in stomach, sweating. Of course when all this is going on it makes it difficult to carry on a conversation, or even make eye contact. It’s a very panicky feeling and I instinctively search for a way to get out of the situation. At the time of making this video, I had just failed out my first semester as a sophomore in college. The anxiety got too high for me to handle. This is when I decided I needed to start a recovery plan. I found a therapist to talk to, but I had a lot of difficulty speaking because of the high levels of anxiety I had during the appointments. So YouTube was a way I could express myself better and still face my anxiety at the same time.

Things you may, will or could experience while dealing with Anxiety Disorders.
video I made on how I feel
This video was delayed for various reasons but i finaly finished it. I had to cut a lot of video out to make it fit into one video but i think i got enough of each of the submitted videos in it. 
This video covers the basic signs and symptoms of S.A.D…as well as some treatment options. I personally do not know anyone who suffers from this disorder, but i know that, like all other disorders, it can be a crippling experience. Please seek help if the described signs apply to you, or to someone you know. If you have any questions then please go ahead and ask, i will do my best to answer them. The song in the intro is “Overburdened” by Disturbed, from the Ten Thousand Fists album. Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
Just talking about some stuff that’s been bothering me today.
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.
