Several days ago I received a question surrounding experiencing and living with social anxiety. In response to the question, I typed out an answer. In the process of processing and developing the answer to the question, I realized that other people may want to read the answer to the question. In response, I wrote the article, Living with a Brain Injury and Overcoming Social Anxiety and 2 other articles, Social Anxiety, Understanding and Finding Freedom from Bullying and Brain Injury, and Learning to Manage Anxiety in Social Settings.
To make the information available within each of these articles I am going to make video presentations of each of these articles. Today, I will make a video presentation of Living with a Brain Injury and Overcoming Social Anxiety. Below is a brief excerpt from the article:
“Today, I received a comment / question: “Do you have or have you had social anxiety as a direct result of your brain injury. Thanks for your help.” As I thought about what my friend asked, I thought about an article that I had written in July 2010. As I thought about the question, related to the article Living with a Brain Injury and Feeling Like a Broken Toy, I had a spiritual awakening. The reason why I felt like a “broken toy” among other toys — when I wrote the article — was because of what I had been experiencing: social anxiety. Social anxiety that left me feeling alone and isolated.
As I made the connection between feeling like a “broken toy” and social anxiety I decided to revise the article: Living with a Brain Injury and Overcoming Social Anxiety. As I thought about the question my friend sent to me (thank you my friend) I began to realize that I am not the only one who experiences social anxiety. Social anxiety that leaves me feeling alone and isolated. Social anxiety that leaves me feeling like I am the only one who struggles. Struggles with feeling as though there is something terribly wrong with me.
As I thought about the question,“Do you have or have you had social anxiety as a direct result of your brain injury. Thanks for your help.” with regard to feeling as though there is something terribly wrong with me, I had another spiritual awakening. I would like to share my spiritual awakening with you in my below-revised article. When I say, a spiritual awakening; I mean that what I have known and understood now makes sense to me. Like the saying, connecting the dots.
