Hi, my name is David, and I am originally from Brazil. I developed SAD after moving to London, for work. I developed SAD, and subsequently I suffered from Psychosis. I have now recovered from the Psychosis, but my Social Anxiety is still there. I am depressed because my dream was to work abroad, and raise a family. I am now unemployed and deep into my SAD. It's tough to live each day after beggining to materialise my original dream, and then having to give it up because of health issues. Now, if I am to be happy again, I need to find new downgraded dreams, and chase them.

Hi, Jasmine. I am learning more and more that there are so many different factors in every case. For me, I have SAD (I'm convinced) but am not depressed. I hear others have issues like panic attacks (I only get those on large bridges) Its good you are reaching out and ought to be a relief knowing it is just not you, there are others. I see little interaction on this website but am thankful to whomever developed it, as it has opened a window for me to know ther are others.
Keep in college, keep it up. Getting there shows you have ability and drive.
Best encouragement to you.

My is Jasmine and I am 23-years-old. I have been suffering from social anxiety disorder for 12 years and now that I am in college Ireally want to get over my social anxiety but I am very scared. Because I do not have any friends I have been very depressed and I have diagnoised with major depressive disorder. It has been difficult to find any support groups in southern Indiana to help me. As of right now I see no hope for the future.

I'm just a regular sad sufferer, no expert. Only here to be helped or help as I can. Jim are you that comfortable with it? I mean, you are here at the sad web reading up on it. Just seeking more knowledge? I just turned 50 and it bugs me. I figure I've got 12 years left minimum to work and it is there that sad effects me most. Do you avoid events where anxiety is likely or have you been able to adjust differently?

what about feeling comfortable and not being sure you want to change? I am 60 and have felt this way for pretty much as long as I remember. It has gotten worse over the 15 years or so, since I started losing my hearing. My hearing is now very bad, I have trouble understanding people soI avoid conversations as much as possible.

Atarax (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I take this along with Lexapro… I was having such hard times falling asleep due to nine million things going on through the day … then the anxiety kicked in…sometimes I would be up for hours while everyone is sound to sleep…When I started taking this I fall asleep within thirty mins and usually sleep sound. It is not addicting… and good price for the good things the meds do
