Hi Stephenb and Angie, thanks for the quick replies

It's one of the few SSRIs I haven't tried and my doctor said I should consider it. I've read some good things online about it helping people worry less about what others think of them, but hearing other's experiences on here would be really helpful.
It gets to the point where I avoid going out sometimes just in case someone I don't know says or does something negative towards me, or I worry about doing something stupid and making a fool of myself. This hasn't happened that often and I know I shouldn't care, but sadly I do, way too much. I'd love to stop feeling so self-conscious, I'm just so fed up of feeling like it. I know its stupid but I even get a bit nervous about posting stuff online, that's why I haven't posted that much so far Stephen!
