What about the people who are not medicated up to their eyeballs but still manage to cope somehow? Is the qualifications medication or gtfo?

If you can go out among the masses happily without some kind of help (medication or therapy), I question your social anxiety and the origin of your diagnosis.

Yeah and I say fuck you. Some of us can't afford medication or don't have access to it. It's really awesome that you have that luxury but others have to find ways to live our lives around the disorder and cope however possible.

DA

Disagreeing here. Like with any disorder there are degrees of severity. Not everyone needs drugs, not everyone should be on drugs. There are a lot of different ways of coping.

There are degrees, yes. I don't feel that "This situation makes me uncomfortable, but I can easily get through it" should be considered a disorder, in the same vein as "I cannot leave my house at all today because I might not be able to avoid everyone."

ayrt Definitely. I think there is definitely a trend of people using anxiety to describe feeling uncomfortable, I just think it's wrong to say that if you can't function without medication then it's not real. That's a problem.

I say this as a person with a diagnosed Anxiety Disorder that has not ever been on medication for it. I've worked very hard to find ways of coping and tricks to get along. I know my limits and what I can handle each day and yeah, some days I still can't leave the house or I'll have to muddle through an anxiety attack. But I'm not medicated, I function (mostly), and I do have a disorder.

Obviously this is all just a discussion on the internet and in the scheme of things means nothing, it just bothers me to see people saying I don't /really/ have a disorder and basically dismissing all the hard work I put in. I'm probably overly sensitive about it. *shrug*

but again, you're ignoring the matter of degree

if I eat in public, I get sick to my stomach and throw up. even if I go home immediately after eating. I've tried therapy and some medications but it still happens. If I eat outside my home, I get violently ill. I don't know why. It makes my life harder but I've grown so accustomned to it that I don't really think of it as being severely impactful anymore. I just know if I get hungry enough to eat or if I feel like I'm pressured into a social situation where I feel compelled to eat, I'm going to get sick. The behavior doesn't become normal though, just because I've normalized it.

Do you mind if I ask for advice (from anyone, not just you) on how to broach a doctor or therapist about how one is diagnosed? I've dropped out of college twice (barely into first year), and done variations of dropping all classes about several times, and quit various jobs the past few years, all due to what I think might be social anxiety. Usually I brush it of to myself as social awkwardness I just need to work on, but when work and school make me want to flee the room because I feel all eyes are on me failing at people, I wonder. Especially because, well, excepting those times where I was able to cling on to one amiable person in those spaces, I've obviously run from those situations to the point where I question my ability to hold down a job and move on with life as an actual adult.

On the bright side, I'm taking advantage of free counseling on campus, but that's only offered during the fall and winter semesters. and not now.

tldr how do I get a doctor to see what is wrong with me :(
