I have SAD still have it bad when I go to the shop I use self service if they have it that way I don't have to talk to anyone I never ask for anything if I need it if I have ni choice I have thrown up with nerves.
I have had therapy been in counselling had a psychiatrist when I was in the psychiatric hospital talk to me about it as it wad connected to the depression lack of self confidence and suicide attempt.
Nothing has helped though with the SAD and self confidence but at least I'm not trying to kill myself.
