I can relate to your post. I even went through a 'cutting' phase as a teenager for a bit. 'Did not have an easy life, but I'm trying to make a good one now.
Anyway, I am going to college to be a teacher, and have a problem with social anxiety. I have found whenever I listen to the 'Relationships' paraliminal tape regularily, my anxiety is reduced considerably, and I feel more comfortable with people, and they seem to with me. I almost decided to change my professional goal because doing presentations made me sick with fear, but the 'anxiety free' tape gets me through with a reasonable amount of anxiety. Good luck!
