> > My "social phobia" (my diagnosis)

I shld add that though I have identical symptoms to you, as far as you describe them, I do have 'genuine' social phobia. By this I mean I have 'phobic' symptoms such as inner panic, palpitations, adrenaline surges etc. Social phobics also carry the conviction that others are obsessively scrutinising them. If you don't have these additional symptoms you probably don't have s. phobia & rather you have the kind of ADD-related social interaction probs that Sulpicia described.

I think my problem is I have ADD, social phobia & all the unsociability that goes with being depressed. Not a great recipe for having meaningful relationships! Surprisingly noone ever guesses...

As Sulpicia says, it's vital you find someone experienced in treating ADD.

Good luck,
J
