Some days I hate going out in public.  I have Social Anxiety Disorder, which makes social situations very stressful.
I know what you mean. What are the symptoms that you suffer from?
Sometimes I sweat excessively, experience nausea, and have heart palpitations.  Sometimes the symptoms are mild and I'll just blush.
Thats horrible. does this run through your family? Is this illness one that is transferred genetically or how does one get it?
I'm not sure if it's genetic or not.  It's called the "illness of lost opportunities" due to how you shape your life around the illness.  Maybe I should ask family members if they've suffered, and how they've coped.
