I was wondering if other sufferers of Social Anxiety are looking for
people to talk to? (on the net)

I really could use some feedback from anyone, about this problem;
treatments, courses of action.
Its always helpful to talk your problems out (but for those of us
without friends; who does one talk to?) its also helpful to know one
is not alone.

For what its worth, one bit of advice i can give people is about
medication.

If you are on any form of medication that seems to work, do NOT stop
the course.
For a year or more I was on a Prozac prescription and it worked
wonderfully. I felt fine, and considered myself 'cured.' However
another year passed and again I was sinking into morbid reflections on
my own worthlessness, so I asked for some more Prozac. This time it
didn't work.
I've noticed similar effects with various other drugs I have foolishly
been addicted to over the years. Like that old junkie's well known
saying 'It's never as good as the first time.'

(PS. There are groups on Yahoo, but I despise Yahoo. They are too
aggressive and tried to take over my whole computer - all i wanted was
an email account. It took me months to finally flush the last trace of
them out of my computer system.. whoa, getting off topic now.
