How do I fix my anxiety?

Man, Im having a lot of trouble these days with my own self. I feel retarded most of the time cause I cant seem to show the world my true self without all this stupid anxiety I have.
I have hard time being with people in general. I get nerved up when I go to places where a lot of people are. I blush really bad, sometimes I get shortness of breath and constantly looking around me. I have to go to department of motor vehicles tommorow and I hate that place cause a lot of people are there. It feels claustraphobic at times. I let pride in my way because I thought it was nothing/ Its effecting my social life . I have only 2 friends, and Im very withdrawn from my family. I need help, what do I do, what will happen?

Answer:
Clearly you have an anxiety disorder. Most likely social anxiety. Treatment is indicated in your case. The best results come from three types of treatment in combination. (1) Medication therapy - NOT WEED. Actually, weed will probably make things worse as it will peek your paranoia and you anxiety will take off like a rocket. Paxil is one medication that is often used for social phobia. (2) The second form of therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You see anxiety actually is driven by though - the feeling comes later. Get a handle on the thoughts and your feelings will calm. Your therapist can explain this more. (3) Finally, the third form of treatment is behavioral modification - specifically relaxation exercises and meditation.
Good luck. Help is available and you already have good insight.
How old are you? You need to see a doctor. I used to feel this way but was put on some meds and it has changed my life
go see a dr. or self medicate
THC - aka tetrahydracannibinal or grass if you like. Smoke it, eat it whatever. It sounds to me like you are bi-polar!

Relax dude!
Anxiety is a common problem and you shouldn't feel ashamed or discouraged. There are treatments and counselors available to help you deal with your problem. If you have insurance you can call and get a referral to a participating provider with your plan. If not try there are community agencies who provide services on sliding scale basis. Good luck!
Weed, man, weed!

Just come to Him with genuine repentance and faith, and you will find peace, hope, and meaning for your life. Heaven is wonderful beyond descriptions, and forever without end. Never, never miss Heaven for anything of this troubled world.

this is called social phobia and it comes from your anxiety within whenever you're surrounded by other people...i'd suppose that you've been hurt by someone, known or unknown, so that human beings in general became your source of anxiety.try to face it one day at a time mentally...but, judging from what you stated, i think you need to see your psychiatrist to get some anti-anxiety meds as soon as possible...to reduce it to a reasonable level...then, you'd need to start to face it and deal with it one day at a time until you can totally control yourself psychologically and feel less stressful and anxious around people...yeah, you can do it...
