hello i have to talk about this subject , i'll talk alot so read as much as u can

, i would like to tell u about a group of people who can't express their feelings to others , and if they do , people won't understand them ..and i'm talking about social phobic people not shy people
most of u don't know what's the difference between shyness and social phobia , and maybe u don't even know social phobia

shyness is character and social anxiety is a disease

i used to have hyperhidrosis since i was 4 years old , so i was avoiding people as much as i can in order not to shake their hands when i meet them because my hands used to sweat alot it's like i wash it and the water don't get dry on my hands , avoiding people caused me fear of them and i weren't go any were but school ,social phibia began to appear in the age of 15 Significantly , at 9'th grade's summwiller vacation i stayed at home 3 months without going anywhere because i was terrified of facing people , my mom tried everything in order to get me out of the house and she kept telling me that i die if i don't get out of my room " lol "

i can't tell u exactly how bad it was , the whole summer vacation i was crying on bed and wishing a mericle happens , every time i remember how i was, i feel sorry for every one who suffers from bad social phobia like the one i used to have

in the age of 16 i decided to look up on the internet for a cure ,i tried every thing like "facing the problem but the symptome didn't go " the symptoms are :Rapid heartbeat, anxiety, fear, shiver, hyperhidrosis < blushing...etc " after a while i recognized that hyperhidrosis is not a symptom , it's the cause of my social phobie

my last choice was to do ets surgery "to cut the sympathetic nurve which causes hyperhidrosis " when i told my mother she refused to do it ,, i told her thousands of times "i'm not shy i'm social phobic and if i get rid of hyperhidrosis i will cure social phobia and be normal girl like u want me to be" ..
so she accepted but the doctor refused to do me the surgery ,i went to him 8 times during one year and he refused to do me the surgery in each time

one day i went to a party and there the symptoms was hard enough to make me fall on the ground and lose my consiousness ,when i woke up i were in the hospital and there was a nice doctor , he asked me what happened and i told him my story and i told him that i need to do that damn surgery , eventually i did it

after the sugery i felt that every thing is normal , now when i meet people i don't get worried or afraid , at first it was weared it took me months to recognize that i'm normal and hyperhidrosis and blushing had gone


i want to say to every one who has social phobia please be patient , never give up , i know what does it look like ,and please don't u ever give up :)

thx for reading

I enjoyed reading that . I wish more people would just be upfront about what they refuse to face. As that's the only way to get the right results in the end. Social Phobia can make people hide indoors. Were you able to go outside when alone? Or did you feel you needed someone else with you, whenever you stepped outside? It's amazing how bad nerves can take over. I experienced major fear this morning, as I knew I had to go and get a blood test done, yet my mind kept warning me to not have it done. It's the logical and reasoning parts of the brain that are damaged, which is why nobody ever finds solutions quickly. A bit of re-wiring of the brain could do wonders :)
