[QUOTE="DaveStebbins, post: 1906678, member: 1427"] Once you move, make sure to hook up with another therapist and shrink where ever you go (where is that? you don't mention it here). Another important thing is to try more than one. If you had a great physical ailment, people would recommend getting a second opinion, well I recommend it for your emotional health as well. When my ex and I were having marital troubles we saw a bunch (probably a half dozen) of different counselors, therapists, etc. before finding the right ones. For us, the solution was divorce but it went well and we are still civil, if not downright friendly. With the previous counselors, we mostly felt like we were just twisting in the wind, without gaining any insight or answers. Seeing different therapists helped me see how vastly different therapists' approaches can be, and different ones strike a chord with different people. Also, self-help books can be good to. Some will bore you, or leave you cold, but if you find one that strikes a chord within you, it will more than be worth the search. Gaming, like Die Kluge says, can also be theraputic. If your social anxiety disorder prevents face-to-face gaming, play by e-mail, play by post or play by chat games could be lots of fun, without having to leave the security of home. (Hope this advice makes sense, as I admit my ignorance about social anxiety disorder.) You already have the first answer; keep getting up every day and keep in practice being alive. No one can control the thoughts which jump into our heads, but we can attempt to control our reactions to them. Don't EVER give up. You are NEVER alone. Things WILL get better. -Dave [/QUOTE]
