Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi Tigger, I understand how you feel I have social anxiety disorder and its horrible, I also get sick to my stomach when I have to go somewhere new, i even make my docs appointments at the time that I know they are less busy which is after lunchtime, and when going to a new doc i try to get the 1st appointment of the day and try to be the 1st patient, its a sad life and to top it off this hypo makes everything so much worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 yeah - but don't those of us still searching for our armour to be up'd and our drs. to listen to us have that feeling? seriously - I have those feelings. I figure they're because I am so frustrated going from doctor to doctor and thinking I've finally hit the right dr. - and then they don't follow through. I feel like my life is in limbo with this thyroid thing and get to a point that I just want to give up. Cris Re: Re: Adrenal support---what are you using > > noise bothers me a lot. Not as bad as it did before I started the armour. But my daughter would click her hair clip, and I would screech! No one understood that those noises 'hurt' my ears or something. And I often have that nagging feeling you're talking about. So what does this mean? > Cris -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 really? I still get that way. My hubby says I drive him nuts. Anytime we have to go out with his work or something, I become such a nervous wreck!! I went to an embroidery club - first one for me - last saturday. I was so nervous. I shouldn't be - I know there is no reason to be, but I can't help it. I just want to stay home.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Oh my cindi, my social phobia also is really bad, I cant even take my kids to the park on a saturday because as soon as it gets crowed I cant even focus on anything other than the people around me, aghh its a very debiliating condition and I have had it since I was 13 yrs old, thats the first time I noticed the uneasy feeling, and at that time I lived in NYC so you can imagine living in such a large city where there are tons of people and having social phobia it was not easy, now I live in Florida and I am 30 and still have social phobia and its at its worst now that I am hypo, aghhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm a nervous wreck when I have to do/go somewhere new... I usually end up puking. Spent most of my life doing that because I was always afraid.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I understand. Sometimes I do sometimes I'm ok. Phone phobia is also a biggie for me.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Talking about being nervous in social situations - I have always been a fairly confident person but just before this illness came about I started a new job. Every time I spoke to someone I started blushing and I was very aware of it and slightly embarrassed. It had never happened before and I didn't know why it was happening. Then I started feeling nauseous every day at work but I was fine when I was at home. It was shortly after that that I started feeling really ill, seems that this social phobia thing was a precursor Lynda (in the UK) Re: Re: Adrenal support---what are you using In a message dated 1/14/2005 11:22:14 AM Eastern Standard Time, bcmc@... writes: > Does that feeling ever go away!!!!.This is a big problem for me.Use > to be free...now I am a shaking little bird...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 me too, even when I am talking to someone I know well. I can be freezing cold and wearing a sweater when I answer the phone, after a few minutes I am sweating. I could understand it if it was a confrontational call but this happens even when I am just chatting to my daughter on the phone.

Phone phobia is also a biggie for me. > oh wow... i had that bad...and even now, still don't like to be on the phone too much. even after i started treatment...i would get on the phone and get so short of breath i could hardly talk and i think it was just an inner nervousness about being on the phone. it was weird...because i used to NEVER have a problem with the phone. for a while there, i was having to get my husband to make some calls for me. it's better now. but i still limit using the phone if possible. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 actually, my stepdad did get fresh with me when I was 13 around teh same time my social phobia started, but he hated me because I didnt allow him to go any further and I told my mom right away, so he hates me for that and I dont care but meanwhile I use dto be so scared of him and of course he would always start argumenst with me and hit me, it was aliving hell, but at least the sexual abuse was not there, if it was I would have really goone crazy! aghh but i know everything I have today and everything I am today is because if my childhood problems.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I have never puked - felt like it - but never did. I have hoped that this would get better on the armour. I usually end up running to the bathroom - and as constipated as I usually am, it takes a lot of nervousness to make that happen!!
