I had really bad social anxiety disorder in high school too. It got better as I went through college and grad school. I think you have to choose something that matters enough to you that you're willing to brave the panic to do it. That's the way academics were for me. And you have to give it time. Therapy and meds helped too of course. But ultimately you have to be willing to endure the panic and wait it out. What helped you during your last bout of social anxiety, when you were younger? I'm a big believer in going back to what you know works! :)
