How I Finally Overcame Social Anxiety

I didn't realize it until I was around 20 years old that what I had been experiencing all of life was called social anxiety. I had always just felt different. The truth is that it took overcoming another anxiety condition in order to come across the symptoms for social anxiety which lead me to the term in the first place. Anxiety is weird like that. The anxiety I had known for years was in relationship to real worries and stressors that plauged peoples' lives. There is good reason to be anxious about certain things in life that demand a logical on set of nerves. But, the pain I had been suffering all my life: feeling unable to communicate my own ideas, feeling isolated from others, being extremely sensitive, feeling watched and extraordinarliy self-conscious, were all symptoms of a bigger generalized problem called social anxiety. The discovery of this turned me on to reflecting on my past entire life. Things became clearer. I realized how much I had been avoiding life and weaving my way through situations in order not to encounter difficult circumstances where I felt awkward or was left alone one on one with people I didn't know extremely well (because even that was painful, sometimes). Social anxiety is irrational. Most sufferers know this even as they experience the awful symptoms. But the feeling of social anxiety is a tumbling circular storm of escalating symptoms that become greater and greater as you try to prevent them. I can recall many experiences where I couldn't just be myself or relax because I was working so hard trying to eliminate the symptoms. This became a constant struggle and would disengage me from whatever conversation may have been going on. I'd always end up feeling like I had nothing to say or that I must have been coming across unusually. I would not give up though. I was the type of socially anxious person who would throw themselves into situations that would make me tense anyways. The trouble was during and after when my nerves were worn out and I'd feel depressed for days afterwards. Like I had failed. It made me mad because other people were not facing these problems. My friends would talk to me about getting nervous, but that wouldn't stop them from doing a good job of what they were required. If anything it would give them the extra needed energy those situations would call for. I've always felt that social anxiety being isolated to feeling anxious solely around people (aside from other generalizaed anxiety) was crazy. There was nothing to be afraid of to the point that I was experiencing tension. But, there was a habitual reaction that would always pop up in these social situations. At the same time there were moments or times around certain people where I would not feel this way, so what was that? What were those moments when I felt better and things seemed to flow with little or no problems at all? These were the moments that made me recognize that social anxiety must have a way of being overcome. There was something I would be doing in these situations however unconscious that would make me feel 10 times better than I normally do in those same circumstances. Well, I tried many therapies: behavioral, cognitive, and rational-emotive. I read Many books and tried pretty much every program online to overcome this problem. I thought I had exhausted all my resources until one painful night I tried panic away. I figured what the hell. I could just get a refund if it doesn't work. This had become a strategy of mine. Most programs offer a refund and if the program don't work then I'd use the refund. Panic away was different though. It pretty much cleared up any thinking involved in sorting this disorder out and offered one move. It's all you need to eliminate panic attacks and acute anxiety and it works exactly the same for social anxiety. Seriously I feel like I don't even know what the struggle was any more. I look back and wonder why I wasted so much time feeling so tense and anxious. The reason I feel this way now is because the method is so easy. There's no heavy reading. The move is very straight forward. It sweeps all those other methods to the side because this requires no thinking. Plus, although it may take time to re-establish an anxiety free life the move doesn't take any time to learn. You just have to understand it to begin implementing it. I saw immediate results. I hate writing this for one reason. I feel like people will want to assume I'm making all this up. I understand. The world is laced now with false advertising and to be honest I thought that is what panic away was about, too. That's why I never decided to use the program in the first place. I only used it as a last resort because, jokingly I felt like there was no answer to my problem so I might as well scrap the bottom of the plate just to make sure. The difference though is that this does work. I want to help others who are going through the heart-ache of social anxiety. Eventually I would like to work one on one with sufferers and am going to school for psychology right now. In the meantime, if people could find away to wor away the awful burden of social anxiety why not try and spread the word. It's cheap, too! Well, panic away is geared to panic attacks/anxiety attacks, that is exactly what is happening when you walk into a room full of people you don't know. That is exactly what's happening when you are asked to talk, but don't know what to say, or when you just feel out of it in general. These may not be full blown panic attacks, but these are situations that are definitly high anxiety. You don't really realize how much anxiety is actually crippling you until you're without it, and if you know how to dissipate that struggle that you know probably all to well at this point then life becomes so much more natural and free feeling. You begin to understand what it's like for every one else to let go and have fun. You begin to realize that people aren't actually paying as much attention to you as you thought or if they are that it doesn't matter because you feel relaxed and good about yourself naturally. Don't take me wrong, you will still have moments of anxiety like every one else. But, now you'll know how to deal with it and it won't be on the fore-front of your mind. In fact, it can be there and not really matter because your interested in other things like connecting with people or simply being quiet because you feel like it. So although I'm selling a program - if you're really looking for something that'll work for social anxiety coming from a sufferer of over 20 years who has recently started living free then I suggest you try panic away. This will save you time sorting through all the other programs out there I have already sorted through that don't even work for this disorder.
