I really think i have social anxiety, i get so nervous everywhere. I even avoid big social places like the mall, and movie thetres because of it. I really want to talk to a doctor about it, but i'm embarrased to tell my mom, because she'll just say i'm shy and to just relax. But its so hard, i almost faint when ever i have to make a speech, or just going to the mall. Any suggestions?

Answer:

take a on line test and show the results to your mom or leave it on her bed and she will talk to you. You may want to research general anxiety disorder also know as GAD.

Good Luck!

I think the best thing to do is to get some literature on the condition she can read, because then she will know the condition is real and not imaginary.

You must tell her, because you'll need her support. Social Anxiety Disorder, if not confronted and treated ,can lead to a solitary and unfulfilled life.

There are ways of seeking help without telling her if you don't think she'd listen. For example ask your teacher if there is a school councillor or nurse you could see. They are equally qualified to deal with your problems. You could also see if your local clinic can help you. If you try to find help on your own your mother will probably take you more seriously.
