    Social Anxiety Disorder, I think I have it
    http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/29zqS8...tysupport.com/

    I think I have social Anxiety Disorder, my behavior matches it perfectly... but I'm not able to see a shrink or any time soon and I need to deal with my worries like now because its conflicting my life. Is there a way I can deal with it on my own because I feel left out and every time I worry about being cool I feel like my friends won't like me because I'm always depressed, I always worry and they would never think I'm fun. I'm jealous at my friend's friend because she makes my friend laugh more than I do and she always cuts me out of the group and my friend can't do anything about it because she doesn't have the strength to tell her to not. I sick and tired of telling my friend how I feel because I feel like I make her mad when I act like this. I always think I'm not worthy and I always feel people think I'm weird. I feel so insecure about myself and jealous at everyone. When I stare at my friend hugging her friend and her friend leaving me out of the group hug I start to cry. I been bullied all through elementary school middle school and at high school too. I can't stop worrying about myself and its preventing me to have fun in life. I can't talk to anyone about this not even my friend anymore.

    First of all, I'd be real careful about labeling myself.

    How old are you?

    There is low-cost counseling available near you. Why not take advantage of it?

    sadly don't have the time for counseling because of school

    Huh? Piffle! That's absolutely NO excuse. It can be done. Counselors have evening hours, early morning hours, weekend hours. I'm sure at least one of them will find a way to fit you in.

    I used to counsel a high schooler at 8 p.m. at his home. After he spent an hour with me, he slept all night like a baby. During the summer of 1991, I counseled a kid who was going into high school in the fall. At 9 a.m. twice a week, I picked him up at his home, drove to McDonald's so we could eat breakfast and chat (he was horribly shy and couldn't focus, so McDonald's was a baptism by fire), then did remedial school work there for 45 minutes or so.

    If you are willing to seek counseling, there is a way to work it into your busy life.
