What do you do about social anxiety?

[Rodismus]

I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was 8 years old. I thought I've done pretty well with it up to this point but most of it's been white kuckling my way through it. Anyone else that's had a problem with anxiety, what was or is your solution?

Seek professional help from a family practitioner or psych, depending on severity Meds may help. Of course a certain amount of anxiety is part of life, and people develop coping mechanisms, but if it's not working for you. get help.
Especiaaly in the case of SAD.

I got diagnosed with socail anxiety and ADD at age 15, I find taking supplements can really help along with daily exercise. Some medications are worth trying, but some will just make it worse, like benzodiazepines such as Xanax! Meditation helps a lot also!

In case you were wondering the supplements that work well for me are, magnesium, 5-htp and l-tyrosine.

Cut off blood circulation in your neck for a 30 to 45 seconds.. Then crack it and you'll be fine for at least a half hour. Then do it again.
