I don't know what happened, I can't make friends!
Anxiety Support / by Wstyle783

...See more I'm a successful business owner that is in sales. I basically went to the bar everyday for 30 years and would drink and easily drink a big 1.75 vodka bottle every three days. When I stopped drinking, I did it myself. I didn't go to any groups, doctors or take any medications. This July will be 3 years. About a year after I stopped I started having mental issues, major depression, people couldn't understand me, couldn't type and I would cry uncontrollably. Started going to counseling and the doctor to see what is going on. Things started to get better but the constant worry would not go away. The anxiety then got so bad I started having issues breathing, so I'm like what the fuck. You got to be kidding me, I over it! Went to the doctor and got on Zoloft, should have done it much sooner!! Really helps me but my social anxiety is bad. I over think meeting new people so much, talk so fast, forget what I'm talking about and get uncomfortable and leave. I'm in sales, I talk to people all day long and they love me. But in a social situation, I am no good anymore. I feel like I never developed these social skills because I drank for so long, has anybody else experienced anything like this before?
