Help I was bullied really badly at school (every day, every lesson, never got a break, and this was in sixth form btw) I’m now 19 and I can’t socialize at all.
It has ruined my life and now I’m very depressed!
I have been one of …
I have been one of those people that just keeps trying too hard and failing, which makes the SA feeing worse. How crazy to have kept trying the same thing over and over again and not getting anywhere. Thank you Nick.
Pills, therapy, …
Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.
In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
God’s healing power is ETERNAL!
Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
The cure for fear is FAITH!
Fear limits you.
FAITH ENABLES YOU!
People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!
God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM…

yeah…vid is on point. up until 6th grade or so i was popular, hung out with people all the time, went out with girls, etc but when i started getting bad anxiety i couldn’t socialize at all anymore. i think everyone who has bad anxiety like this would have great social lives if it wasn’t for this reaction we get around people. cant stand it when people say its because of a lack of social skills…
This is the story …
This is the story of my life…
I found this video …
I found this video to be really helpful and it made me feel much better actually. I’ve been one of those SA suffers who try to copy other people’s good social skills, it hasn’t worked too well! I guess, it’s because i’m trying to be someone else, and can’t pull it off. Anyway, thanks again for this blog : )

I believe sir, you have just “hit the nail on the head” as they say.
