Social Anxiety Disorder

Social Anxiety DisorderHow do people with anxiety disorders social function at school?

Because I'm planning on going to a good college (Cleveland State University) when I Grad in a few years of school. And I have social anxiety and I wonder how people with this disorder usually work in college.

Hello, I have social anxiety and I'm in first year at college, so I fully understand you. The first day I was not nervous at all because everyone was new and there alone and I felt that since high school seniors were not there, I would not have to worry, because everyone seemed alone and awkward. Class is generally easy because of my experience there is not much pointing "OK, you. Answer!" as in high school, mainly one that puts your hand. I must admit it is difficult to make friends, I have only one friend in a year, but I think it is better than nothing:)
Just trying to make conversation with the one next to you, just say "Hey, how do you think you did the test? Or Hey, can I borrow a pen?" (Yes, it's hard, I could not do it lol, maybe you can right?)
Try to stay calm and relaxed and take things slowly, socially.
Good luck!

and you must work your way up slowly. one day talking to someone for 10 minutes the next 20 minutes and a bit of work up. so after talking with someone a little you may feel a bit more social and able to talk to someone else if this is done very quickly - this is called the positive momentum you should try to learn to use it as much as possible. also try to get a good mood this will strengthen your confidence (and you can not have too many more). people are attracted to and less likely to feel uncomfortable around those who have confidence. Remember the more social you are the easier it will get in time. success
ps: if it does not work, try drugs for sad

drugs

I have social anxiety disorder, idiopathic craniofacial erythema and still works :[... I got my diploma im 08 and to the point where I feel like I just wanted to stop going to school and get my career going because the school is just sometimes emotionally exhausting. Especially when the word is a condition for graduation .. ahh this is killing me. It would be much better to know someone going through exactly the same thing.

I had depression and anxiety disorders in high school, so I understand your concerns. I can not tell you what to do because everyone faces and heals differently. For me, my parents filed for divorce the day of my departure for college is even worse than he already was. I was severely homesick for the first two weeks because I felt that I neglect my family, but in the end I had to do what was best for me and force me through the stages of healing. But it is time you and do not forget that!

I decided to go for advice on a regular basis (most colleges offer this service for free if I strongly recommend to use the resources you have) If they do not have groups support on campus. I never attended any social event if I had not someone I knew there and since I've made friends with someone who was a junior I had an instant "in" for advice on anything school related. The conferences have been large (generally 75 + people) I stuck to the back of the room, since I too claustrophobic in people ... The arts college atmosphere is very different from high school than in some colleges. Mine was very relaxed and people were very mature.

Basically you do not push too hard, but realize that the university is impressive because it is a moment where you get to reinvent yourself and the pressures and time of shit in high school are not more important! :) Best wishes!
