Good News. There is help for you.! Both my wife and I also suffered the same as you, and were completely miserable. Had it not been for me being persistent, we'd not even know one another. So, where's da help? SAD can be overcome with therapy... counseling. ANY reputable counseling center will offer you the solution you seek. And most will have a sliding-scale (income-based) fee to make it affordable to you. An important note; while in therapy if you don't feel (after a period of time) you're making progress, tell your therapist that you'd like to try another therapist, and why. If they are reluctant to do so, then discuss this with the center's administrator or program director. I won't kid you... you'll have to do some work if you want to be happy. The reward though is you'll find life can be fun, and learn a good deal more not only about yourself, but others too, which just happens coincidentally. Take care, and the very best of luck and life to you! TJ :-) Kt,

What you have is generally called “Social Anxiety Disorder” (SAD), or simply “Social Phobia”. Good News. There is help for you.! Both my wife and I also suffered the same as you, and were completely miserable. Had it not been for me being persistent, we’d not even know one another. So, where’s da help?
