Lexapro is my salvation. I used to be very self-concious, shy & had a lot of anxiety....it helped with that. But I had my own work to do. Everyday, I make myself talk to & interact with people. It's hard & I struggle with it every day but it's worth it. Left to my own devices, I'd stay in the house all the time....not good.
Are you able to get out & about? If so, maybe try to volunteer
somewhere where you are around people. Or better yet, the animal shelter...animals know how to appreciate!
Oh yeah & watch some of the shows like Jerry Springer....they are great for a laugh & after seeing some of the crap they're doing, you'll sit there & think...OH my God, I have a great life!
Remember, my friend, you are the only one who can make you happy. AND you are worth it!
