What is Social Anxiety?

Social anxiety is an anxiety disorder where patients feel fear or interacting with other people. It is different from a Generalized Anxiety Disorder or a Panic Anxiety Disorder, because it only manifests itself in social situations, or at the prospect of a future social gathering.

It causes people with social anxiety disorder to feel shy, self-conscious, embarrassed about their looks or personality traits, afraid of being negatively judged by others.

Other symptoms include choosing to remain isolated from friends, avoidance of people, not being very friendly or talkative, feeling excessive sweating, nervousness or a loss for words when meeting strangers, etc. It is a highly common disorder, which is why it is the third most common health disorder.

People usually take different anti-anxiety medications that relieve stress, calm nerves and soothe the person. However, these medications tend to have a lot of side-effects that can be harmful with long term usage. They also cause dependence and withdrawal symptoms, which is why many wish to avoid them.

Others also opt for various therapies with psychologists and psychiatrists, with the popular one being cognitive-behavioral therapy. The exact nature of a social anxiety disorder differs from individual to individual, but it can be quite difficult to manage for many. It can cause them difficulty in their jobs or be getting group tasks done.

Kratom Helped Me in Dealing With Social Anxiety – Real Life Experience

A real life story of a kratom user who suffered from social anxiety disorder comes from Jeanell from Louisiana in America.

She suffered from social anxiety disorder throughout her entire life and did not like being in the company of others.

She only liked being with a few people who, as she felt, understood her and were not judgmental.

After giving birth to her son, her anxiety levels shot up and she was prescribed Xanax, which is an anti-anxiety medication.

However, it has a high addictive property which is why she was hesitant about taking it.

After being pressurized, she started taking Xanax to treat her social anxiety disorder. As a result, she started feeling more distant from her loved ones, like her son, and less like herself.

At this point, she has suggested kratom and decided to take that. The results were immediately visible, and she even encouraged her husband to take it for his anxiety disorder. As a result of kratom usage, both the users are living happy and fulfilling lives. They have social gatherings and are no longer shy, and even feel like better parents and more energetic and active people now.

After getting control of her anxiety disorder, Jeanell not consumes it only before a social gathering or event. She no longer needs to take it every day, as this allows her to be safe from developing kratom tolerance.

What Other Kratom Strains Can Treat Social Anxiety

Another kratom strain that can be used is:

1) White Vein Kratom: Some users have reported feeling relaxed after taking white vein strains of kratom, as it relaxed their nerves and muscular tensions. It is rare because usually, white vein kratom has a stimulant effect but for some people, it can result in relaxation.

2) Any red vein strain of kratom can provide relief from symptoms of social anxiety disorder.

3) Another tip is to make sure that the strain is not stale or dirty or impure, meaning mixed with other substances to make it less effective.

This can result in unwanted effects for the user. It is also recommended that premium quality kratom, which includes the only leaf of kratom, and not the stem, is used.

The leaf contains all the useful alkaloids which help relieve the effects of social anxiety disorder.
