Grace,

How courageous of you to want to become an anchor person!! I think that is
great. My name is Dawn and I have suffered from social anxiety for a number of
years...Paxil is what I take also for this condition and it does help to
alleviate some of the anxiety, but a lot of it is just good old fashioned hard
work. Are you in therapy? That has helped me a lot, but so has just getting up
the courage to try new things. It's a process. I still worry about being
judged in soical situations, but it is getting better. So, there is hope! If
you ever want to discuss SAD, feel free to email me.

Take care,
Dawn

p.s. be sure to talk to your dr about the side effects of any drugs you
take....especially the SSRI's in teens

Hey everyone, i'm new here. I am a 16 year old girl from Ohio, and i
obvously have SAD. I'd really like to get rid of it or atleast treat
it somehow because i just hate being so shy! But it's weird because
i'm not shy around my mom or anything, she says i talk non stop. And
well at school i'm known as the "quiet, never gets in trouble" girl,
eh it dosen't really bother me because it's the truth. But hey i was
looking at some internet sites and found a pill for SAD, um i think it
was called Paxil, has anyone tryed it? Well, i really want to banish
this shyness because in the future i'm planning on becoming an anchor
for the news and well i wanna give it my all without being so shy!

Thanks for reading

-- Grace C
