Depending on how bad your condition is, receiving support online from others is a great way for you to start your recovery process. It's a good way to get your feet wet.
We are very lucky to have the internet to rely on for things like this. It's also a great way to get information and educate yourself so that you're better informed to take action.
Spare A Thought To Those Who Suffered Before
Think about this for a moment. Social anxiety is not a new thing. It's been around for years. Think of all those people who suffered, perhaps throughout their lives all those years ago.
No one would have known what it was about and had nowhere to turn to. There was no internet. Doctors must have told patients that it's stress or nerves when it's much more than that.
Here's A Good Online Support Resource
You should check out Social Phobia World. It also has forums by country, although there are only four flags there (UK, USA, Australia & Canada). It doesn't matter if your country is not there.
Anyone from anywhere in the world can join. The main thing is to join and get used to it. These are people who know how you feel and what you're going through.
They may have made tremendous strides and offer their support and advice. This is priceless. Their social anxiety support to you offers hope and helps to keep you motivated.
Remember, if they can do it, so can you. Adopt this attitude. The day will come when you improve and are now in a position to help someone else through their social phobia.
Receiving and giving social anxiety support online is a great way to make friends all over the world. Use it as a tool to help yourself improve and eventually help others.
