OP, the same things happened to me when I was unemployed for some periods of time, I had low mood / libido, didn't want to do much social stuff etc.

Focus on finding some work, even contracting, and the weird feelings of anxiety that you are feeling will vanish. Sounds weird but trust me they will.

Also try going out locally in the evening to local quiet bars and just chilling there with a coke by yourself. If you can start doing that slowly and start to get comfortable by yourself, it might help you.

But yeah, focus primarily on the job-finding aspect first, if that's what gave you your sense of purpose before.

have you been fapping/watching more porn recently? People with social anxiety usually have desensitized dopamine receptors so lay off the fap train for a while. 100% srs.

3. You workout aka you're better than 95% of the people around you f*ck them (srs)


I get that being laid off was probably rough. Sounds like it's stemming from this if anything and because of it you've let ALL insecurities start getting to you. Does it help if you go out with just 1 friend with you maybe for some support? Try getting 1 friend to come over to your place and then maybe try to go out together somewhere so you have support from someone you trust.

That's where I'd start. Or you could go the medication route, your call.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

If you go the benzo route it needs to be short term to get you the motivation to get better. psych meds shouldn't be long term if it is for depression or anxiety

You have anxiety like this before or is it just in the last 2 months? I've dealt with anxiety for a while, it will come and go depending on what's going on in my life.

Dude please. Being bald is not going to hold you back. The social anxiety needs a therapist to help you out with.

Relax it ain't all bad.

I have got like this on occasion and it happens when I isolate myself for too long a period of time. If I interact with people with some frequency it doesn't seem to escalate.

I've had an up and down battle with social anxiety for many years. What I've learned is that it is both an internal and external battle.

Internally, you need to work on correcting the negative thoughts that are making you feel nervous. Doing some deep introspection and seeing a therapist can help with this.

Externally, you need to set goals for yourself and work towards them. Create a life that you are proud of. That will give you a self-esteem boost. When you're happy with yourself and your life, you'll naturally care less what people think of you.

you're right if someone were to take benzos everyday, taking them once a week at the most and for only times that you need them more than ever is fine. Problem is people tend to take them every day / other day which will fck your brain up. Work on your anxiety problems from within and take them during the times that will effect your life drastically, like an important job interview, gig, etc..

take vitamin b6 srs, it actually does work. This is coming from a dude who was diagnosed with severe social anxiety disorder. I went to post a thread about it and realized there was also a 600 post thread regarding vitamin b6 and it's effects on social anxiety.
