Social Anxiety (or Social Phobia) is just one type of Anxiety Disorder but it was my third different anxiety disorder (3 anxiety disorders in a period of 30 years !).I had my first anxiety disorder (separation anxiety disorder at 12 years old and it lasted five years until I had 17 years old !). Then 15 years late I began to have the beginning of social anxiety and the beginning of a physical illness called cervical dystonia (involuntary movement disorder at the neck, also called torticoliss spasmodica) and five years late I had a severe adjustment disorder with anxiety (I was devastated ) and finally at 40 years old and during 3 years I had, not just social anxiety but SEVERE GENERALIZED SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER (or SEVERE GENERALIZED SOCIAL PHOBIA) and severe cervical dystonia : I was completely destroyed. My solitude and social isolation was almost total. That point of SEVERE personal physical and mental illness was the starting point of recovery 3 years ago. I could not go worst, I was destroyed physically and mentally, my life was a misery and my social isolation was total. Why if I had tried different solutions I get worse and worse ???I hope to be able to share in this video the reasons ...Hope in a next video to be able to share the first solution that worked for me.P.S. :If you are interested in go deeper on my Personal Recovery please go to my Personal Recovery website : http://socialphobiarecovery.or...

Man...it's eerie how much we have in common. I assume this is probably true for anyone with social anxiety.:/

I have the same problem, I'm trying to isolate my self from society, not as a solution but because it makes me feel better. It has been around 4 weeks since I don't look outside the window and months since i dont get out the door. I'm running out of things to do here at home, sometimes i get desperate, i get negative thoughts (not depression). I have tried everything except hipnotisim, some therapist don't even know what soxial anxiety is.Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

According to another study, "fear of ridicule and reluctance to leave home were almost universal". Another study explained that "54% of all patients with cervical dystonia felt themselves observed and critically looked on by the public and had withdrawn from social activities".

According to two specialized studies on neuropsychiatry the adult population group that have a very high percentage of social phobics is the "cervical dystonics", one who have (like me) a physical illness called cervical dystonia or "twisted neck" or also called spasmodic torticollis. This group of "cervical dystonics" has around 50% of social phobics as the primary psychiatric diagnosis which is 10 times more than the average population which is around 5 %.

Do you think social anxiety could cause cervical dystonia? Although it is known that stress does not cause cervical dystonia, I began to have cervical dystonia-like symptoms just when my social anxiety was getting severe. It's just killing me.

i just wanna know what causes all of this? is it confusion? what i mean is in social situations there are alot of mental games, insinuations, people tryin to kill each other with words and such, and it leaves people confused as to what is going on and why is this happening and how does it work. Is that the reason?
