Hi, finally went to a primary Doctor ,,just making the call was scary,,years since Ive been I was so nervous but, did it,, and Doctor after talking to me and testing and seeing how shaky I was Prescribed Beta blocker all day one and Lexapro,,Im nervous about lexapro-maybe Ill start on Friday,, supposed to take half at night,, I have social anxiety and I tremble and cant eat in Public, nor work because I cant even walk in for interview ,,so Im Kind of hoping this might work(in the past I was on beat blockers and ZANAX with great results but, I stopped it because i truly believed any meds over time would hurt my body ad than I went down the drain trying for years for a Holistic answer,, anyone On Lexapro -pros-cons- also I havedo go to a gathering can I have beer ,not sure

Oh, thank you for the responses,, yes Im trying to get a appointment,, was hoping to get someone to make it for me ,, but, I looked and finally found a primary doctor I suppose go to her first,, we will see If I can get that courage to call,, Going to the Doctor alone will be huge if I can do this,, Im hoping maybe next week, Thanks so much again,, Nice to know I'm not alone and when others judge my small way of life they have no idea the fight I have in mY head to even walk out the door,, thanks,, Bunny:)

Hi, well I haven't been here in a while,,but, I haven't improved I don't even leave the house,,Im nervous when we get the mail or the phone rings,,everything stresses me out,, I did buy Hemp oil trying this because Yes Im afraid to go to the doctor,,I truly hope to make a appointment I guess to a general doctor but, its something I put off so much,,for years now and I finally have insurance but, I haven't used it,,I was on Zanax for ten years than I stopped and slowly stopped doing a lot in life,, even now If I go food shopping only with Husband and I wear sunglasses and bring a list so I look at it and focus other wise i get so nervous,, I tell him all the time don't leave me alone and he does and I start to shake ,,My true self is a outgoing person i actaually wanted to be a actress,, now stay home no job,,I hope to hear from anyone that has this social anxiety and anything that worked for you,, I know mine is so bad and i need a doctors help but, the anxiety about making a appointment makes me put it off, ,,thanks sometimes I need to vent I don't talk to anyone much about my issues,,

Brilliant!!

Hi, this site is great ! Read everything here its so helpful.I have the same problem I see people walking and I'm just sitting looking at them .Its hard to meet people when you are older and not a kid.Maybe there are walking groups in your general area ?Read everything you can and hope that things will get better for you.

Hi, GABA_is a natural neurotransmitter--I found mine at Puritans Pride online, But I think GNC and most Vitamin shops have them .I had no luck at Cvs thats why I order it online.%- http was terrible and so was L-theanine made me feel Horrible.Gaba Works for me since Im not on any meds at all I take this first thing in the morning and Now Im also taking cod liver oil supplements. Results seems to work for me.Like I said and thing thats natural and holistic is my journey for now.Best of luck!

So, howdy all:) So far I found that Gaba supplement works for me.I only take vitamins and no prescriptions at all.Some supplements have to be Doctor approved.In my case still no Doctor guess I'll stick it out until September. Anyway Gaba -It calms me down.I also like Rooibos tea tastes great and also calms me.I started 2 weeks ago adding more fermented foods into my diet.I must say all of the things I have been trying have helped.I guess its true you are what you eat.My dietary changes seem to help.As far as 5=htp goes not so good. Made me a zombie.I will try anything once.Trying to read as much as I can have a few books to read. I want to be 90percent back so far just maybe 30percent but, baby steps:) Peace "_

So waiting around for another Dr because my insurance bites and no one calls back.I decided to research and see and helpful ways to help me get by day to day.I read on here and earth clinic-some people have had decent results and anything is better than sitting around looking at the phone.I ordered the following Gaba-Ltheanine-and 5-htp.Staring Gaba today.Than I will try each one a different week.Mostly concerned how they will effect my delicate stomach.Taking the smallest amount each day.I don't take any other meds nor have any health issues so being cautious anyway.So, hoping for something,, any little thing just to be able to walk out of the house is first goal.Than to a store by myself and one day have a Job again.I keep imagining what it would be like to have paycheck and money and get out of this debt and poor lifestyle. I also ordered Rooibos tea had one yesterday it was ok but, yesterday I didnt have stress or anxiety I will try it when i have a anxiety filled day. Okay peeps, will let you know updates as far as it goes ....

Thanks cooks!!!!

So left a message for the New Office and No one has yet to call me back.This is making me stressed out.I guess I will call again tomorrow I don't want to sound like a pest.Anyway tomorrow is another day.... hope a more promising one.

So, I just came back.Not to make it tougher but, I forgot my wallet and had to have the Dh go back and get it.I was freaking out.Finally, got in and the Dr won't treat me.She recommended some other place to go.I will call that place tomorrow.Exhausted from the stress but, hoping tomorrow a appointment with some one else.Deeply frustrated but, at least I tried once and that was hard.Thanks all:) tomorrow is another Day!!!

Jonathan 123====you are Yoda!!!!! very wise you are:) Count down for appointment in the evening.Had nightmares last night that it was canceled.Wish me luck with hopes of personal freedom.And finding the old me:)
