shyness and fears

Hi, 

I agree with Ashley, the program works.  Believe it or not, I was painfully shy and nervous when I was younger.  I went to a youth group at church when I was 19 years old.  And, over the course of 3 years (of easing into socializing in a safe and supportive environment)  I overcame my fears and shyness and enjoyed socializing.

Welcome Naioom,
 
I am sorry you are feeling this way. It sounds like what you are experiencing could be an anxiety disorder but as I am not a Doctor it is best that you see one who can properly diagnose you. A proper diagnosis is important when trying to determine appropriate treatment.
 
If what you're experiencing is an anxiety disorder then this program can help. Anxiety is one of the most managable disorders order out there. You can take control of this. Start with session one and take your time working your way through. Make a schedule for yourself regarding when you plan on working on the program and be sure to stick with it. Also, plan on rewarding yourself for completing sessions and reaching goals. The program does take time and work but it is all worth it.
 
Also, be sure to post often in the support group. You are not alone in this.

I don't know how to explain what i want to say, but i have to try it. I'm a girl of 24 years old,suffering from shyness and fears. I'm afraid from almost everyone & everything such as social situtations . That let my heart rises up , have a pain in my stomach , trembling. On the other hand, feel too stressful, confounded and uneasy. Thinking about it just ,let me suffer more .

Don't know what to do about it??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
