Social anxiety & counseling will it work?
Well im 15 i went to the doctors not long ago and told him my symptoms and ended up breaking down and crying. He hasn't diagnosed it yet but he thinks it might be social anxiety, i keep beating myself up about it because when i tell people about it they say awww ur just shy ull get over it or ull just have to snap out of it but they dont understand what im feelin it not that simple.
I thought things would get better but their only getting worst with time i just feel that i am hopeless in social situations because i get nervous before them and after i feel terrible because i always fail and sound nervous. Its got that bad i cant even get on buses anymore without my heart racing and having severe anxiety i could be in a shop and if some asks me a question this voice comes into my head and i get a sudden rush of fear throught my body.
I need some advice if anyone has got any please, i am currently being set up to have counseling for it and im just wondering if it will work&how quick

oh, and it will work if you work with it
provided you get a good councelor, listen to what they have to say, be totally honest when speaking wiht them and you should have some relief at least- within the second or 3rd session to be sure, the rest depends on you
My advice is if ur so worried about ur condition is to see someone higher such as a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psychologists could be better because they use more effective tools to ease or fix ur problem while a psychiatrist issues the correct medication for u (although if ur 15 its better to use techniques rather than medicine for now). You seem to want a quick remedy for ur problems. Its not possible that u will get over it quickly in two sessions, but on the other hand u might be better after several sessions.
I have some social anxiety just like u, and it is one of the most common problems out of the anxiety disorders. So dont beat urself up over it because most likely the person next to u in the bus has social anxiety, u r not alone. Take care and remember u can beat it!
You could just be shy.Never know.Dont be so hard on your self.Be postive and hope for the best and take the best.Just think if you were to grow out of it ,,,,,,,then you wouldnt have to go to counseling.Maybe try just saying hi to someone you dont know and see if they talk back.Well i dont mean strangers ,,i mean like another person your age and maybe at the daily queen. Good luck
Make sure you go to counseling as you have planned. Make sure you ask the counselor how you can handle getting on the bus, etc. Go to the the bookstore and read up on it. Just go to amazon.com and bn.com and search "social anxiety." Read as much as you can. You can also search the web on the topic. The more you know about it, the more you can manage it. Don't get too hung up on what people will say about you. Most of them will just think you're shy. And if they're not nice to you, why do you want to care about what they think? As long as you are nice to people, you shouldn't be ashamed about social anxiety. I have social anxiety but can manage well now, mostly due to the fact that I accept social anxiety and don't look down on it. When I'm with friends and people who share the same interest as mine, I don't have anxiety. So I try to minimize socializing with people I'm not comfortable with, unless I have to. One important thing I also learned was that I realized that people aren't really judging me all the time. They're busy thinking about their problems. It took the pressure off. Once agian, make sure you learn as much as possible about social anxiety, and make sure you confide in your counselor, family and close friends, so you don't feel you're alone with your secret. Take care and good luck. You can get over it.
