First of all low extraversion doesn't need ''treatment''.  If you enjoy being alone that is fine.  There are many jobs that suit people with low extraversion.

 

For anxiety exposure is the best way.  For the first year of teaching I was terrified.  Walking into the classroom and having kids shout ''hey teacher you wanna cry?'' ''jump off the building!'' ''bully teacher bully teacher''.  After 8 years I don't feel scared anymore.

 

I can only put this down to exposure.  I don't feel scared anymore when walking into a classroom.

 

Anxiety and depression meds should be taken only after all other problems have been solved.  It is lifestyle changes first and then medication.

 

If you have a perfect life but still get depressed then the meds would help you.  For example if you are addicted to gambling, taking meds won't stop you placing bets.

Anxiety plus paranoia is an awful disease.

How do i know? Because i've got it.

I suffer from near enough the exact symptoms you do mate.Lucky to have 2 good days on the trot then something really insignificant occurs and the paranoia starts again.

Valium is fantastic but stay well clear unless you have a will of iron and only take one as a last resort.

If you live alone it's twice as bad so try to find a nice lady for company.Exercise,swimming and walking is great too.

I'm an alki to so having a couple of beers in the evening is not an option for me but might work for you.Good luck.

Speaking from experience, I wish I had discovered the Wim Hof breathing exercise before I ever ventured down the path of anti-anxiety medication.  And that is all I have to say.

 

 

Been breathing with Wim for 2 years now.

Helped me too.
