Hi guys well Iā€™m 22 struggle a lot with anxiety, especially social anxiety. Currently on sertraline and have been for nearly 2 years now. My anxiety is set of a lot over what people think, people taking bad about me, and not being good enough. My anxiety gets in the way of me sticking up for myself and thatā€™s what Iā€™m working on at the moment, Iā€™ll let people say what ever or have them talk about me and then have a panic attack about it and keep it to myself. But Iā€™m trying to stand up for myself when this happens and give my thoughts as when I do try I end up having a panic attack and end the conversation. Ashh

mod edit: removed medication dosage

    Welcome aboard, Ash! Really glad you found us and it's good to see you posting. There are a lot of folks here who deal with anxiety day-to-day, among other things, so we can relate.

    Just a small thing: I edited your post to remove the dosage of setraline you gave. Talking about medication and mentioning names of drugs is totally cool, we just have a guideline around not specifying dosages so we don't get people self-medicating based on forum advice. :3Ā 
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
