I'm on Loxalate medication and that has helped muchly with anxiety.
I have difficulty with anxiety attacks in crowded places like shopping centres - I manage them by avoiding them. I also have difficulty talking to new people I meet at social gatherings - you'll find me talking to the family pet!
There's nothing wrong with me, I make friends easily, it's all just a state of mind. Just can't get my head around it all.
Cheers!

You know I was very similar. Quiet and shy in my teens and then became confident and outgoing and then depression and anxiety hit as well. You need to challenge yourself by going to shopping centres. you know the saying "baby steps".
