Bullying can affect your self esteem big time an the effects last a long time. I have social anxiety also an I still deal with it I’m 61 but better than I use to be. Therapy is always helpful

It's good that your son has you. You understand what he's going through. My dad didn't understand. When I stopped working my dad thought I was lazy and didn't want to work. I wish I could work. I'd have a lot more money. But I couldn't hold down a job for very long. I always got laid off or let go because my depression and anxiety effected my job performance and attendance.

It’s not so straight forward as he’s not my sons father and my son does not want his dad to know anything so I’m stuck in the middle and don’t know what to do for the best as I love them both

Yes I would love to do it together and getting him out would be a start. My husband just thinks he’s lazy and does not understand so I feel pulled both ways and my anxiety gets worse

My Daughter has the same social anxiety.since we moved to different state.i take her to counselor and physiology doctor.they ask me to gave meds is something I will don't agree yet.
