I've had social anxiety for about four years now, and it's only gotten worse this year. I used to be able to talk to my classmates in elementary school, since it was just the 30 of us, in a class, and we'd known each other since we were all 6, so that was okay. I still couldn't really talk to strangers or adults. Then high school hit, and it was more of a "I can't talk to anyone that I'm not decent friends with, and if IΒ do, I actually want to die at the time"
I thought I was shy.
SHY.

I've been struggling with severe panic disorder since I was five years old and it's made my life unbearable at times. Thank you for making "awareness" stamps instead of glorifying mental illnesses like so many other DA users do.

Thank you for this, including the fact that I have anxiety and depression.

Social anxiety sucks, I get nervous whenever going to a social gathering and just stand around most of the time.

I wish I could get rid of it. It's not fun when "unrealistic" fears and physical pain that makes you believe you are going to die RIGHT NOW popp up every day and you can't calm down without taking medication against it.

Thank you for making this stamp, I suffer as well with a panic and anxiety disorder and it can make life really difficult. Mine tends to flare up in certain situations with work, people or out of nowhere. I often think about just walking away from my job because I get so scared but I have to try and stick with it because I'm helping my family financially.

I have general axiety...it isn't fun. Like, I'll go to a museum and see the health exhibit, and I'll be scared of my own body for days. My firends think it's funny that I freak out, but it isn't. I don't want to freak, but I'm just so scared of everyday things. It isn't funny!

I've never been to a doctor about it, but I have anxiety problems as well. I think it's a problem that a lot of people fake, so it's over looked and blown off. It's serious, and I thank you for making this stamp.

Go and see a doctor! They will definitely be able to offer some help for you.There is no reason you have to live with anxiety, untreated!

I wish this stamp was around when I joined deviantart. I have anxiety and was never truly diagnosed with anything. I was given medications but after three years of trying to find the right balance, I got my mother (I was a minor then) to agree to end treatment, if only just for a short while. A couple months later my personality brightened and I stopped panicking when I went out. Now I only have panic attacks when I feel trapped in a situation. I still get anxious but I don\'t panic. I think I just needed to find my own strength.

I can kind of relate to you. I have anxiety attacks really bad, but mine are more related to medical issues then certain situations. Like, if I get a chest pain I'll panic about having a heart attack, or if my head hurts I'll call the Doctor so she can tell me I'm NOT going to have a Seizure.
But, the part I can relate to (kind of) is the medicine issue. My doctors threw all sorts of anti-depressants at me to calm my nerves, but I haven't taken them.
I don't want to become a Zombie on my medication.
Suffering with my anxiety can be really, really hard at times, but I like my ups and downs, they make me ME.

I think I suffered more on the medicines than I did before I took them. I was on mood stabilizers and other depressants and I ended up being a whirlwind of emotions for years. It wasn't until I refused to take the medicine that I was finally diagnosed, and not by the doctors prescribing all the different pills.
But even after coming as far as I have there are people who just aren't happy with it. They are blinded by the memory of how I was at the worst period of my life. Some people just can't be happy with what can be done that could be before. I'm happy with how I am now though and that's all that matters.

My Doctor and both my parents know it's my choice to take my medicine, and I'm not going to take it. I don't want to go through what you did.
You should be proud of how far you've come, even if other's can't see it.
I think the worst of having anxiety is not what it does to me, but what it does to the people I'm around. They think I don't know what I get like, they think I don't know what I put them through. My boyfriend tries so hard to cope but sometimes I can hear the frustration in his voice.
That's why I'm learning to control it. It's really hard trying to re-wire your brain to just calm down and not worry, but I'm doing pretty good.
My aunt told me:
"If you can't change something, then don't worry about it and go with it. If you can change it, or fix it, or help it in anyway, do it and don't worry about it."
I'm not going to worry about things that I can't stop. I'm pretty prepared for anything that can happy, so I try not to worry.

I've been meeting people on dA that suffer with the same cross to bear,
it really is helpful to have people around that understand.
