How to Deal and Treat Your Own Social Anxiety Disorder without Paying for a Therapist

If you don't have medical insurance, it may be hard for you to afford a therapist to treat your disorder. However, there are other alternatives that can help you overcome your social anxiety disorder.

  Join a Social Group

  Look for free groups in your area or on the Internet that allow you to interact with people and talk about yourself. Befriending someone who experiences the same problem as you do can help you to understand yourself, and possibly overcome your anxiety.

  Do Something Good for Yourself

  Sometimes people don't have enough time for themselves; therefore, they tend to start feeling depressed and ugly. Buy yourself a gym membership, and get a work out in a couple of times a week. You will feel refreshed, energized, and more confident about yourself. This is a good way to naturally reduce your anxiety because exercising will make you feel confident about yourself, which will allow yourself to feel more comfortable in social situations.

  Go Out With Your Friends

  This will give you the opportunity to socialize and get use to being around people. Don't stay indoors, afraid to face the world. Instead, go out and have a good time, meet new people, and don't forget to strut your stuff!
