How ‘ckkbleev’ experiences social anxiety disorder and the power of the net 2.0 and sharing

Continuing our series of personal testimonies, another variation on the theme is to focus on You Tube and document personal recoveries through brave women and men who come forward and reveal their heart. The internet is a powerful beast, social media and advances in sharing technologies have made our personal lives a lot more visible and naked to a much larger audience. That’s really powerful and important for helping information too, instead of sometimes needing to locate specialised groups, key personal information can be communicated peer-to-peer instantly.

Ok, and now to the testimony. Like Justin’s story problem starts young in life, and progressing to high school. He became very self conscious when walking into a classroom, reeling that he was waking weird or that people were eyeing him or looking at him weirdly. He complains of being very analytical and worried about little things like how he looks in front of others and his voice, doing this video also. He also admits that social anxiety has robbed him of romantic relationships, not being able to meet a girlfriend. Being in groups in school were also very intimidating and threatening.

He feels it’s rude to not speak with friends, so a sense of obligation is there but he is also makes it hard, maintaining eye contact even with friends is also very difficult. Again like Justin’s story and extreme self-consciousness appears to be evident in this story. He can still get around in basic job duties although little things like eating with colleagues can become excruciatingly difficult and challenging.

Shopping malls can be hell for anxiety sufferers

Making excuses to bail from social contact situation are also regularly made. Also, public social spaces like bowling alleys and shopping malls are unbearable. Walking into a shopping mall precipitated a panic attack. Going into the food court became overwhelming and induced sweating and feeling of dread and a panic attack. Watch the video for the complete experience, he’s really open and forthcoming with revealing this information, for this he should be commended, thanks for coming forward and spreading these message I’m sure a lot of people will relate to your experience and I know I certainly did. Finally he also noted at the end that medication can’t control the way you think so he avoids prescribed medication as he believes they are a temporary solution.
