I know that here I am pretty loud and obnoxious, but IRL I actually have like, really bad social anxiety. Especially when talking to guys. (Actually come to think of it it’s usually only happens when I have to talk to guys I find attractive crush )

Sometimes it’s fine, but other times it’s like my brain does a blue screen of death and I can’t even think of words to say.

Is there a way to get my brain working normal in these situations? I already taken anti-anxiety meds and they help a little, but not always.

Any tips to stop my goofy ass brain from crashing?

    good luck, hope it goes well for you! jsyk if your psych won’t and whatever else they want to try doesn’t work for you, you can look for new one. I talked to a psych who refused to prescribe me stimulants even though they’d been very effective treatment for me for years, bc the psych had some really outdated info on adhd and some unscientific biases against stimulants, unfortunately there are some shitty ones out there

      Thanks! Yeah, I took focalin a while ago and it was bizarre, I’d be totally wired, then feel nothing and back again. then tried strattera for a couple weeks and it made all my symptoms worse besides waking up on time in the morning lol. I really wanted it to work, so I may have to try focalin again before we get to the other stuff but I think I’ll be flat out with them and say I’d like to try Vyvanse or adderall. They seem to have the greatest efficacy for people anyway.
