Social anxiety
Okay so I have been suffering from social anxiety since my childhood. I have consulted specialist and taken medication for about a year but it did not help. I have very low self-esteem and inferiority complex.i can't complete a sentence when I'm in a group of people of higher designation. I become so nervous when I have to make a call or to talk to a random person. I'm not able to lead my life this way coz of anxiety I'm not able to talk openly and I'm not at all expressive. I tend to avoid interaction, so I'm not able to make any good connections. I don't want solely depend on medications as it affected my health previously. I'm not able to eat or sleep properly n I have started losing weight. Please help!!

Tremors, feeling anxious or nervous, sense of panic, sweating, increased heartbeat, feeling of impending doom, stomach discomfort, dizziness etc are signs of anxiety. These can be debilitating. If the anxiety us overwhelming, consult a psychiatrist at the earliest. With the right medication and counseling, it is likely your symptoms will improve.
