and if so have you had success in tackling it? up until now i've tried to get drunk to deal with the thought of being in a social situation with loads of people, gigs, parties, etc. however getting plastered just creates problems of its own. i don't really want to stop going out to gigs and pubs and so on.

stuff i'm thinking: - smoke shitloads of weed? (i don't at the moment)
- antidepresssants/anti-anxiety medication? (i'm pretty sure i'm clincially depressed as well for some time and not sure whether they link in)
- both?

cheers anyway
