Does Social Anxiety Go Away?
I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. You're going to have to be proactive and seek help for your social phobia. Yes, it'll be overwhelming so I recommend getting a close friend or family member to set you up with an appointment; therapy + maybe meds and you should be feeling much better. They're professionals, so don't worry about them pushing you too hard or making your anxiety even worse. Good luck. EDIT: Abstract Parade, while that's good advice for someone who is shy... this guy is having full on panic attacks, sounds more than shyness to me, sounds like social phobia. I'm no expert but while that might work for shyness I don't think it'll work all that well for social phobia; how can you ease yourself into social situations if you keep having panic attacks? I still recommend therapy + maybe medication.
If you ignore anxiety does it go away?
Oh yes - sometimes. Anxiety has a fairly definite cause which you have to discover if you can. But often it will go away on it's own. However, if it's really strong and won't leave you alone, then that's why they invented psychologists. The idea is that things happen to all of us as little kids - these things get repressed or "forgotten" and live under the surface of our lives. The anxiety you feel flows out of these things which were once really scary. And when you discover them they are often not nearly as scary as they seemed. And in the process of discovering the source of this anxiety you get to a point where you get to choose whether you need this anxiety anymore. And of course you don't - so it begins to fade away. It's a great thing to get rid of. But as I say - it will sometimes just go away on it's own as you mature. It's telling you a story over and over, and it's OK to listen to the story and see if you can figure out what it all means.

Will anxiety go away?
Yes, the body was designed in a miraculous way. It does a phenomal job of self correcting etc.However, maybe no…Here’s the thing…there are certain things we can do to try and reduce anxiety…can you guess? (diet, exercise and sleep)Regular sleep pattern (if you need a little melatonin or even something stronger temporarily it may be necessary)Exercise (this of course helps with sleep tremendously, it will also release happy juice in your mind and body)Diet - eat healthy, you know if your bombarding your body with ups and downs of super sugar meals it will suffer emotional ups and downs.Drugs and Alcohol - these both have a rebound effect. Especially alcohol. The body produces chemicals to reverse the depressant when the depressant is gone, the body is still producing “wake up and be alert” juice.Spiritual stuff - “He will keep in perfect peace him who’s mind is steadfast on Him”. The powers of darkness play a major role in what (often) appears to be mental illness and phobias and anxiety.Meds - some people need meds, but they are often over prescribed and issues can be dealt with using food, exercise, therapy, etc. (if you need em’ no worries, that’s what they are for!, your wonderful regardless!)Support Groups - depending on your challenges, certain support groups will help paint a different picture of your struggle. There is power in numbers. We are social interdependent beings.Practical Meditation - slow breathing, but no mumbo jumbo were you chant and open yourself up to the spirit world.Chamomile tea - is surprisingly effective at helping to relax.Supplements - to support mineral and nutrients. A large number of people are deficient in minerals. Neuronutrion is on the rise.
Why does alcohol make my anxiety go away?
This answer may be controversial:Is this ok sometimes?: I believe it is, however please read on:Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. As such, it acts on the GABA receptors in the body. (GABA stands for gamba amino butyric acid) Many anti-anxiety drugs, for example, Valium and Xanax, target the GABA receptors as well and so do other drugs, like diphenhydramine which is the active ingredient in Benadryl (antihistamine) and the “PM” in Tyleneol PM and Advil PM. That is the reason Benadryl and the PMs make you sleepy—they slot into the GABA sites and depress the central nervous system which calms you down.So using alcohol MODESTLY to take the edge off anxiety is not, in my opinion, the worst thing in the world however, if used more than modestly for this reason, you would be better off tackling the underlying cause of the anxiety through introspection, lifestyle changes, or elimination of the source, assuming this is possible.Other things that might help either alone or in combination with alcohol used modestly, are yoga, mindfulness and psychological therapy.I am not a fan of drugs. If this is short term, I recommend taking GABA instead. It is an amino acid, readily available at health food/whole food/vitamin shops and inexpensive. St John’s Wort also targets the GABA receptors, but I recommend using the amino acid that fits perfectlyThe article below from the National Institutes of Health provides further info.The role of GABA in anxiety disorders.
Does anxiety and depression ever go away?
My friend, I know what you mean, and I am so sorry for you. I've had severe depression for many years, and I'm usually afraid to leave the house. Every night I go to sleep hoping not to wake up, and every day I wake up disappointed. I know exactly what you mean, and I am so sorry you're going through it. I've tried numerous different medications for the depression: Abilify, Mirtazapine, Wellbutrin, Vibrid, Brintellex, Prozac, Lamictal, Lithium, Latuda, and some others whose names I've forgotten. Nothing has worked yet. I say all that not to depress you further, but to encourage you: there are many, many medications you can try, and most people get some relief from at least one of them. The fact that they haven't worked for me, we'll, my psychiatrist and I are still working on that. You didn't ask for any advice, but I'll offer some, in case it helps: go see a counselor. Don't start with a psychiatrist; they're expensive, and a counselor can help you a lot. Some people can recover to some degree by seeing a counselor. Especially one who can teach you how to meditate. And if it doesn't help you with your depression, there's still a benefit: you will have built up some trust with someone who can refer you to a psychiatrist, rather than you having to pick a name out of a hat. I know I'm not the best salesman here, given that neither therapy nor psychiatry has done much for me. But I just want to give you an idea of the help that is available to you. Most people do get some benefit. I'm really sorry for what you're going through. I wish you peace and luck.
Does social anxiety ever go away?
I don’t have social anxiety to the same extent that you describe but I know how you feel. When I was younger I felt I was very different and had similar problems to you, a crippling shyness and self-misunderstanding which made it difficult to connect with many people and so I was often bullied/ostracized.I recommend investing in your self-confidence through building your self every day. Read books and dive into hobbies and interests, possibly interests you can share with others. Work on little positive improvements and you might start to feel better about yourself and more comfortable in your own skin. People will gravitate towards these kind of people. Put yourself out there even if it’s very difficult at first. After a while you will start to feel more confident in social situations just through ‘practice’.A tip I remember reading on Quora was to act like you’re playing a part in a movie. Act like a person you feel you’d want to be around others. Slowly but surely this ‘act’ will become part of your true self. People are mouldable and we’re growing all the time. Make the most of this and practice being who you want to be and you’ll thank yourself for it tomorrow.If all else fails there are always people out there who want to help. Talk to a healthcare professional if you feel you need to.Best of luck
Does mild anxiety disorder go away on it own?
There is no ability to predict if your symptoms will change in any way. They could get worse, better or stay like this. It is not certain that we could determine this is a stage of a disease(anxiety disorder) or something that will pass. If it is anxiety,lifestyle could be a contributing factor. Throughout or life, our physiology changes, creating these symptoms. Life events (stressors) and family history are also contributing factors. Focusing on what you have not why you have it is a productive route to go. Lifestyle is one of many different actions you can take to alleviate symptoms.Getting exercise, diet, and good sleep patterns are important in combating anxiety. Recognizing patterns to your anxiety, when it seems stronger, who are you with and how you are viewing the situation are also going to be helpful. Self talk (what we say to ourselves) is important to recognize in these moments and journaling will give you more information on how your thoughts influence your feelings.If this changes on your own do not improve your situation, I would suggest seeking out professional help. This could be with taking medication (doctor or psychiatrist), talk therapy (social worker or psychologist) or both. Anxiety is a normal human emotion,. When it becomes problematic in our lives is when we need to address it.
Do anxiety disorders ever go away?
You have three options... -Shake it off (Probably not an option) -See a Clinical Psychologist (This can be extraordinarily helpful) - Take Medication (If all else fails, you really should consider it) Don't try and complicate things. Pick one of these three options and act on it immediately. There is no easy fix, nothing else will help. The final option I didn't mention was: "Continue on with the way things are". Things like this usually heal over time, but you can never be sure just how long it might take.
