I need some advice on life.?

I haven't been in school for 4 days, because I am eXtremely anti-social.





If someone looks directly at me while i am sitting still in class i jerk in one direction. This is really embarrassing.





Ive been on Zoloft which is suppose to correct this problem... it hasn't.





My entire family thinks i am a baby and need to be taken out of school completely an put on a home school program. I don't want this, i like the classes i am in in school, i've finally gotten myself into the position i want to be with computer classes and all. But I'm ruining my chances of having a future by missing school. I was hoping to talk to my therapist about this. But he is all booked up for the next month. The last i talked though he said something about upping my dosage.





So i was thinking maybe if i went to the required dosage i could get over this and continue going to school.





Does anyone have any advice for me?





Thanks.I need some advice on life.?
First of all, don't call yourself anti-social. Psychologically speaking, that means you are 'against society' like a deviant or something. You're extremely shy. Of course you and your therapist know the situation best, but perhaps zoloft isn't the right medication for you. There are many many kinds out there that target different specifics. It could be very possible it's the wrong medication.





My main suggestion would be to try some conditioning exercises with your therapist. You can slowly learn to extinguish the fear. It's extremely helpful and works. You would go step by step, at your own pace, becoming more exposed to your fear until you can have control of it and overcome it.





As for your family calling you a baby, you aren't. You can't help the way you feel and you are looking to get help for it. That is important so if you keep working on you can beat it.I need some advice on life.?
CHANGING YOUR SCREEN NAME TO SOMETHING POSITIVE WOULD BE A START......





ON ONE HAND YOU SAY YOU ARE ANTI SOCIAL.....BUT THEN ON THE OTHER.......YOU LIKE SCHOOL.......





THE COUNSELOR WOULD BE A GOOD START AND MAYBE A CHANGE IN YOUR MEDS.........I CAN JUST FEEL IT WHEN I NEED TO EITHER UP OR CHANGE MY MEDS AND A GOOD TALK TO THE DOC IS WORTH YOUR TIME..........





I THINK YOU ARE REALLY A NICE GUY AND REALLY WANT TO BE IN SCHOOL AND A CHANGE IN MEDS IS WHAT YOU MIGHT NEED.





ONE OTHER THING.........I WOULD NOT BE A TEEN NOW A DAYS IF THE LORD JESUS CAME DOWN AND ASKED ME HIMSELF !!!!!





IT IS TOUGH BEING A TEEN !!!!!! SO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF AND DONT TAKE THINGS SOOO SERIOUSLY.......





BEST WISHES..........
