Are people not informed enough about social anxiety disorder?!
Question: Are people not informed enough about social anxiety disorder!?
I've suffered from horrible social anxiety for the past few years!. Its been very difficult for me to keep a job because of it!. If the job involves too much direct social interaction or even answering phones it becomes overwhelming!. I get to the point where I almost black out even if its just answering a customers question!. But when I try to explain this to certain people they act as if i'm just shy and not trying hard enough when I quit a job!. Even close family members seem to have no sympathy for my embarrasing disorder!. I often wonder if they accept it as a genuine mental disorder or if they just think i'm lazy and trying to find excuses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
alot of people are not informed on anxiety as a mental disorder!. They just consider us nervous!. They don't understand it consumes our whole body & mind when anxiety of any type hits nor will they ever because they have never experienced it!.!. The only person who remotely understands me without having anxiety is my husband since he has been through all the ugly stuff with me and stayed with me and helped me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
