My Mom doesn't believe me. advice?

I am adnormally shy. its to the point where my friends get mad at me for not conversing around their family, or refusing to eat more than a few bites around them.


I hate being in large crowds at parties or gatherings, it makes my face turn red, my palms sweat and the only thing i want to do is turn and run. I have no abilities to start conversation, or keep on going for that matter.


I have done research and came apon A disorder called Social Anexity Disorder,


9 times out of 10, I was agreeing with everything stated about the disorder to my own shyness.


My mom think im just being a hypochonriac and wont listen to me.


How do i convince her to at least get me checked out?

You might have to consider facing this issue on your own if your own mother doesn't help you. Good luck.
Reply:Just try sitting down and talking with her. Explain with as much detail as possible. Show her websites that you find. Anything to make her listen.
Reply:Well the first thing you should do is sit down with your mam and tell her your problems. If she will not listen just call your docotr for advise and follow it . Think positive.
Reply:Pull up the information you found and let her read it,then discuss it with her by telling her how many of the symptoms you have.Also tell her that you'd rather be able to identify what's wrong with you,instead of being worried about it.If it turns out you're worried about nothing,then that's even better,but any good mother would want to help you out.If she doesn't listen to you,then the next time you're at the doctors,tell them about it,then they can talk to your mom.Good luck.
Reply:Wow, from what you described, it sounds to me like you have the classic symptoms of social anxiety disorder. It is important that you get help. Sometimes parents just don't like to believe that their children have psychiatric problems. My best suggestion is to ask your mom to sit down with you in private and calmly tell her exactly how you feel. Tell her how miserable you have become. Be very honest. Show her the research you have done and explain how it applies to you. If she still refuses to listen, try to talk to your school counsellor or even a school nurse, or a relativel like a favorite aunt or uncle. One of these people may be able to help your mother understand that you want help. That may be a difficult step to take, but it will be worth it, if it gets you the help you need. Believe me, there are therapies and medications that can help people like you feel better. It worked for my father after I convinced him to seek treatment.
Reply:If you are here talking about your mom that means you are probably still in school right. You may be able to go to the school nurse, if she diagnoses it then your mom will realize that it is real and she can then take you to talk to a doctor.
Reply:i can relate to you a lot. i think i have general anxiety disorder and my mom just doesnt want to accept that i have it really. she said she was going to take me to the doctor and try to get me prescribed a low dose of something but she hasnt really. its hard to deal with anxiety and i hate it. you should write your mom a letter or sit down and have a serious conversation with her. tell her how much more fun you could have if you didnt have to deal with anxiety and how much it affects your daily life. im almost 16 and can completely relate to ya. good luck!
