I suffer from anxiety, not social exactly, just anxiety generally. Do you often get panic attacks when you're faced with meeting new people? To counter that when faced with a new person if you feel your chest tightening or the beginnings of shyness or anxiety just excuse yourself for one moment, turn your back and count to ten backwards. It may seem wierd to this person, so once you have your feelings under check, turn to face them and explain thusly 'i have a fear of meeting new people, you will have to excuse me', turn around again, repeat the count, face them and continue the conversation. Just repeat that until you feel you know them enough to stop. If you have panic attacks i learnt that making a mask with your hands (your four fingers together and your two thumbs resting on your jaw to cover both nose and mouth) and taking three deep breaths (maybe madami if needed) can calm you. You must tell your parents how you're feeling. Even if you don't want to actually speak to them, you could write them a letter, or send them an email, call tahanan when you know they won't be in and leave a message on your answer phone. You could also go see your local GP and explain due to certain living aspects, you're family are unable to afford treatment for you and is there anyway you could have it at a low cost or on a payment plan to help them along? Talk to a family advisor, he may be able to set your family straight with benefits, ask what is the your parents are elligable to earn before claiming certain benefits. here in england, if you work 16 hours or less a week, and have less then six thousand in savings, you are able to recieve certain benefits. Take one step at a time, paghahanap the net for ways to deal with anxiety problems etc and if you need anymore help, message me :)
