I had my first social anxiety episode at 20. It was terrible, i was put on ssri and i quit after 3 months. They helped a ton.
After i was ok for a year and at 22 panic and anxiety came back full force. here is some basic things that helped me.
Quit Caffeine. ( this was a huge step)
Hang out with friends and do this a lot ( if you don't have any just go to the nearest coffee shop drink your lemonade and watch people passing by
Eat mostly clean but if you crave something just do it once or twice a week.
Meditate at least 15 minutes a day ( especially when times are bad is when you need it. )
Go exercise. I can't stress this enough it has helped boosting my mood and my self - esteem a lot
Sauna, Jacuzzi, Massage . Do those, sometimes the tension we feel is trapped inside of our bodies and we really need someone to get it out
Force yourself to go outside the house everyday even walking 5 minutes.
Rest and do this a lot, don't find this as an excuse to proscastinate but really take a break you might be doing too much and some things people do efforless we put to much energy and struggle to do it and that burns as off. Just rest. Play your favorite video game, have a beer if you like, talk to someone just take a break.
Talk to people: Just say hi and contunue your day, this will help you understand that people are not monsters and they won't bite you.
Always remember that you are awesome and your life it's the most precious and important thing you have and at the end it's you vs you, bad times maybe here and you think now that they won't surpass but DO remember and believe that it will get better and it WILL you just have to help yourself.
