Mr. Bell,

The thoughts you describe are totally typical of social anxiety disorder. And you don't have no delusions or hallucinations which would indicate psychosis. I have social anxiety disorder, too, and found Nardil was actually helpful with the thoughts. Once you start feeling more confident, it makes sense that our thoughts will begin to change, too. Or it may be that the drug does actually change thinking; it's hard to tell, but the drug virtually eliminated my Social Phobia.

Also, I have never found CBT to be of much help, even though it has a good track record. It's a very boring/simplistic/superficial kind of therapy in my opinion, and it's something you can learn on your own. (Check out the excellent David Burns books, for instance.) I think a good therapist ought to be familiar with and capable of using more than just one techique/approach. I've gotten the most help from depth psychologists. DRC
