Social Anxiety?
I've always been shy when I was younger but at some point it developed into something more than just being shy. I get extremely nervous to the point of feeling like throwing up and uncomfortable when friends(and I only have two that I actually hang out with) invite me anywhere even if I've been there before, I don't like speaking up for myself because I get scared and nervous that I wont say the right thing or someone will get mad at me, even just to ask my parents something. If I get put on the spot or anything like I just described I'll get the sick feeling, my heart starts pounding, and I get hot flashes sometimes. I've only gotten to the point of shaking and actually throwing up twice. Even using public washrooms where there are more than one stall makes me panic and I can't use them, which is really a pain when my family goes on vacation, as dumb as it seems. It prevents me from having relationships, going to parties, getting a job, or really anything that a 16 year old is supposed to do. I get nervous posting even on RYL and don't do it often. (I know you guy are all very nice though, dont take it personally!) I always just thought it was just me being shy or something, but now I think I might have social anxiety disorder? I don't know, what do you guys think? And if so, what can I do about it to fix it? Sorry if some of my symptoms might sound weird or something.
