I have my service dog, Iris, she helps with most of an anxiety and other PTSD issues. I have meds for situations that I may be in that Iris is not enough or not able to be with me.

TSgt Melissa Post - I try to avoid the meds as much as possible. Iris does a great good job of waking me from nightmares, calming, and helping me feel as though I don't have to watch my back or less crowded.

There's an old joke... A man goes to the doctor and complains, "Doc, when I do this (hold hand above head), it hurts."
Doctor replies, "Don't do that."
It's a very old joke.
To be serious, phobias such as social anxiety are among the few things that can be treated successfully. It takes exposure, repeatedly, in carefully controlled, measured doses. Good luck
