    Many thanks for the welcome. My days are extremely up & down, depending on my mental health on that day, I'm currently on medication. I'm looking for any advice/tips people wouldn't mind sharing in combating my social anxiety, as I'm unable to find a way forward myself, at times. I do find it extremely affects my life at times & can get the better of me.

    Welcome to the community! :)

    Would you mind sharing a bit more about your social anxiety? How long have you experienced it? Do you feel it more in certain scenarios, or are there certain places/people where you've noticed it doesn't feel as strong?
