Am a person who is sometimes super anxious, afraid of talking, or even scared, I feel am being watched all the time, I lose whatever I wanted to say when I feel nervous, and that's affecting my work, and the way I live. I skip all kinds of public gatherings/celebrations hoping not to end up in a bad or awkward situation. I wanted to end all of that.

I started multiple therapy sessions in the past few years starting with SSRI medicine for a couple of months, and started to increase the dosage as prescribed by my doctor. Had to change my medication due to misdiagnosis with ADHD. The doctor prescribed me ADHD Meds called Strattera (probably has different names in different regions) and am seeing some good results in terms with better decision making, feel more clear minded, better time/task management which is really good so far for my work. But nothing much when it comes to social anxiety.

I know that medicine is not supposed to be the magic pill that will cure you anxiety. cognitive therapy is maybe as important as the meds.

I have been talking for too long now. So my question to all people with Anxiety and managed to treat their anxiety, how did it go for you? What have you done to overcome this? Any advices, techniques that helped you during your treatment, please share it with us, anything you bring here might help anyone in someway.

this is my first post here, and English is not my first language :)
