I'm afraid to speak up in class .I cant speak even if i know the answer to question being asked 3. I'm not comfortable with myself .. i think I'm ugly , unattractive.. my physique is weak . I feel sad when people tell me I'm weak .. i think they make fun of me and I'm afraid to go in social situations .. marriages, class , bus etc. 4.Due to these problems i cant concentrate on my studies ..and i think i can never be happy in my life .. i just want to be normal ... I often think about suicide .. what should i do ?
Dear you have social phobia and depression. You should take tablet ESITALOPRAM starting from low dose as in our hospital a patient like you start from starting dose 10mg and then go to 20mg after a month and then upto 40mg once a day at night but you know that antidepressants start its action after 21days of its use. When you feel fine then a slow tapering of this drug should you follow .you should do exercise of talking with some one boldly because the one with which you talk is an ordinary man like you. Don't feel shamness during talking with girls you should talk more and more with girls and live more close to the girls. You should be confident by doing some thing becoz you have potential skills kindly express it. You can do every thing what you want. Attend the parties more and more .always facing peoples and develop your reflexes. You should take inderole if you feel anxiety.kindly do regular exercise. Hope you will feel better after following my advice. Make it possible and I know you can do it. If you find any problem you can ask other wise you should go to your concern doctor. Thanks for asking.
