Welcome to Anxious Living
June 19th, 2006 by Editors
Anxious Living is an exploration into the nature and treatment of social anxiety. As the authors of Anxious Living we write based on our own personal experiences of social anxiety, as well as on formal and informal research. Posts on Anxious Living discuss the experience of social anxiety, in addition to techniques and paths of treatment, both in an objective manner and from individual experience of those techniques and paths. We invite you to join us in this ongoing conversation, whether you yourself struggle with social anxiety, you know someone who does, you are a mental health practitioner, or if you simply have an interest in social anxiety. We encourage you to share your experiences, feelings, thoughts, and ideas in the comment section. Our hope is that this will be a supportive and dynamic site for everyone.
Introductions
This week each of of us will introduce ourselves in individual posts, letting you know a little about our experiences with social anxiety. Please feel free to introduce yourself to us and to fellow readers in the comment section.
Social Anxiety Resources
We hope that Anxious Living connects readers to valuable resources, as well as to other social anxiety blogs. At the top of this site you’ll see a horizontal menu with links to other pages within this site. Our Resource page contains many of the highest quality websites dealing with social anxiety. For literature on social anxiety, check out our SA Books page.
In efforts to create a social network in the blogosphere, we have started a SA Bloggers page. This will be constantly updated as we find other bloggers writing on social anxiety. You’ll also see information on adding a SA Blogger button to your blog.
Upcoming Articles
After introductions, we’ll dive right in to some topics and issues regarding social anxiety. Some examples of what we have in the works are posts (articles) on social anxiety (SAD) assessments, experiences and reflections with those assessments, stress and SAD, the positive side of SAD, family history and SAD, a guest post on living with someone who struggles with SAD, and plenty more. We hope you’ll join us in this exploration.

Best of luck to you on your new blog and on successfully becoming as free as possible from social anxiety! May you be massively successful in both pursuits.
As one who has gone from painfully shy to nearly free from shyness, I hope that my participation here will inspire and illuminate the path…and help me to become even more free as well. I was once extremely, painfully shy, and now almost nobody who knows me know believes it–but still I have painfully shy moments, even some recent albeit very rare moments of near catatonia.
But the good news is that in my experience, it can become easier and easier to snap back from these experiences and return more free and peaceful than before.
