Social anxiety

orestes889

Dealt with social anxiety most my life. I know it sucks. Feels like we're doomed forever. Chances are if you're reading this, you're trying to change.

My life was held back because of social anxiety. I dropped out of high school, no job, no future. Depression got worse.

One day, I Finally got the courage to join the gym. Was very nervous, thought I would quit and give up the day after. Im now reaching 2 years!!! Ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made. Can say that I've beaten around 70% of my social anxiety and depression.

Hope I can encourage at least 1 person that's dealing with something similar to me 2 years ago.

Know that it's not easy. You'll want to give up many times. Know that you alone have to build the courage to fight back. Something simple as working out can help so much. It's giving me the confidence I never had before.

I honestly don't know if I'll completely beat social anxiety.. But at least now it doesn't control me.

Awesome job. Anxiety and depression held me back for a long time. A lot of different things helped but nothing as much as eating better and exercising for my health (mood included). Like you say, building that courage to fight back is hard sometimes, but it's possible.
