I overheard someone recently say that being antisocial really meant someone who is more like a sociopath and that the term "anti-social" has been used incorrectly this whole time.
But then I thought that having a social anxiety was sort of linked to being an anti social. But now I am confused.

Can someone clarify this for me? What is the real difference btwn an antisocial individual and someone that has social anxiety?

And is someone who is a sociopath, are they also being antisocial?

THANKS!

Basically, I’ve been putting it off my whole life, but my problems are getting so bad that I have no choice but to go to therapy. I’m terrified and I’m afraid I’ll dread it every week. I feel like a psycho-people always say there is no shame in therapy, but the reasons I have to go are bizarre. I’m so embarrassed and scared to share these problems with someone. How can I make peace with this? How can I feel comfortable with going?
To the second answerer: actually, we can’t afford it. The insurance will cover some of it for a couple of months, but that’s it.

I’m getting very panicky and anxious. My girlfriend left to Mexico for two weeks and now my anxiety and panic is acting up. What am I going to do? I feel like i’m gonna go crazy. I can’t really talk to her much except email sometimes because of her service on her phone is not good. She’s the one that really understands my problem and now she’s not here

Is there any medication that can make all of this go away?

In some loss of attention is caused by anxiety. Is there any anti-depressant that is known for increasing attention span in those with anxiety issues? I have a horrible attention span and I believe it is due to my anxiety. I’ve taken some random medications in the past but I don’t remember any helping with that.

I take a .5mg pill every other day, sometimes only once every 3 days. Only when my panic is severe. I have been diagnosed Bipolar, Panic disorder with Agorophobia, Depression and General anxiety disorder.

I am noticing I have to increase my dose to taking a pill every day or my anxiety is steady running all day long. I feel today as if I am on the brink of death nonstop every second. I just took 2 pills for the first time ever. Why is the med not working as well anymore? Thanks.

Have been on paxil and it didnt do much have been changed to lexapro

I want to dye my hair green again. I dyed it green for a while and it only lasted for about 2 weeks because I used Manic Panic. There HAS to be something better out there. Because I had so much hair, and it took like 3 times to get the desired color, I had to use the whole pot just for the tips. I need something with lasting, intense color. Anyone?
