Thats the big problem with my SAD, it's irrational, although I know theres absolutely nothing to worry about, I just can't shake the feeling. If I were just normally shy, this would be a good solution. But I think the big difference between just being shy and SAD is that even when SAD sufferers know theres nothing to worry about they still do worry, but shy people don't.
As for those of you who say this isn't really doing much to my life, I disagree. I was dumped by a girl I was totally in love with. why? cause i didn't talk to her for a month cause i couldn't get myself to call her. It really makes me feel bad about myself. that event was what made me first get myself checked out about it, and It's also what makes me want to try the meds.
I think I'm going to go with Raveneyes suggestion, I'm going to try them. I've already told all my friends to make sure they tell me if I start acting strangely.
I'm going to make sure to update this thread on how this progresses.
