Social Anxiety Blogs

Now that I'm coming down of that alcohol binge and the aftermath, I feel a little better about things. My secret weapon is excercise. I recommend the book "Spark" by John Rattay. If that book doesn't convince you to start a regime nothing will. I feel better, and more optimistic after a workout.

I have declared war on Social Anxiety. I am considering looking into medication to supplement with my exerrcise and CBT routine. I am also practing deep breathing. Like exercise, this seems to help get my "brain chemistry" in order.

Last weekend I finally learned my lesson. I cannot drink my anxiety away. It will come back three fold. And in the form of humilation with loss of motor control, and the "regret" of the next day.

On wednesday I attended a retirement party for my old Broadcasting instructor. I engaged in several nice conversations with old classmates. It was a bit awkward at the beginning, but i managed. The anxiety was there and it will be there, you just have to dive in. I consider the outing a success.

Unitl next time....
