Fuck, I love you, John Green
Anonymous asked: Do you have any advice for us people with social anxiety?
Therapy and medication.
I treat my anxiety the same way I treat any other illness: I accept that I am sick, listen to my doctors, pay attention to peer-reviewed studies of what helps in treatment of the condition, and stick with the treatment regimen.
I find it interesting that I am asked every day how I live with anxiety but almost never asked, for instance, how I would recommend confronting a diseased gallbladder, although I’ve done that as well.
Illness is illness. If you are unwell, seek assistance from trained professionals, not blogger novelists. :)
