A further way to seek support for social anxiety is by participating in a support group or workshop. These groups can be a great way for you to meet other people who suffer from social anxiety. They will help you see that you are not alone and encourage you to build relationships with people as you help and support each other. Research indicates that taking an active role and seeking to help others, can have a beneficial effect for people suffering from social anxiety. A support group or some other group activity can give you a chance to step outside yourself and do things that benefits other people, which in turn may help you. Social anxiety is a spectrum with a lot of variety within it. Some people may have specific problems with public speaking and others may have particular problems talking to people they are interested in romantically for fear of rejection. There are a range of support groups run across the country, and you can search online to find ones run near you. Some examples of different groups are: Social anxiety and self-help. Social anxiety and public speaking. Social anxiety and panic attacks. Teen social anxiety. Once you have decided what kind of support group you would like to attend, you can search through some useful online databases to find groups that meet near you. You can search by location and by the group name or support topic. Keep in mind that there may not be an exact match and some groups will cover a broader range of topics. If you are working with a therapist or counsellor you should ask them for recommendations or referrals for groups meeting locally. Your therapist will have a good knowledge of what groups there are and how they are run, so she will be able to make a personalised recommendation to you. You can also look through message boards and support group websites to get an idea of what particular groups are like. There are also databases for groups outside the USA, available to search through online. When you have decided on a group to try out, contact whoever is running the group to let them know you would like to attend. You can normally just go along to one session to see what you think with no obligation to return if you didn't like it. When you do go, try to go with an open mind and a positive approach. You don't have to say anything straightaway. It might be heartening just to hear other people describing their social anxiety and recognising your experiences in somebody else. Bear in mind that social support groups are more about supporting you and helping you understand that you are not alone. Support groups are not necessarily an effective treatment on their own. But they can be a helpful element of a larger treatment programme.

summary: Research some support groups. Determine which group you would like to try. Find a group near you. Go with an open mind.

Clothes that are too tight can draw attention to areas of your body that you may not want attention. When trying on clothes, make sure they fit well around the arms and armpit area. If you are particularly self-conscious about your underarm area, do not wear clothes with elastic or stretchy material near the underarm region. If you wear dresses, take care when buying dresses cut near or around the armpit. If it is too tight, it may pull skin around your armpits, making the skin bulge. An ill-fitting bra can cause bunching of skin near or around the armpit. A properly fitting bra means that you are providing adequate support and comfort for your body. The bra is a foundation of the wardrobe, and if it does not fit, it is unlikely that clothes placed on top of it will fit well. Go to a specialty bra store and request a bra fitting. Pay special attention to how the bra fits in the underarm region, and how the underarm appears when clothes are worn. Sizes may differ from store to store. Be sure to try on a bra before you buy it, as some stores may not allow returns.

summary: Wear properly fitting clothes. Choose properly fitting bras.

It's important that you tell your family about your decision before your death. If you do your research and make necessary preparations, your family won't be left trying to understand your wishes. If you don't inform your family, this surprise could delay them in getting your body to the right facility in time. Check with the program you're using about transportation costs. Most programs will pay to transport your body to the facility, but if you die far enough away from the facility, your family may be responsible for paying to get you there. Your family will not be able to hold a funeral with your body present and they should be prepared for this. It may affect their ability to find closure. Inform them that they can still hold a memorial service or attend a commemoration service at the facility where your body was donated. Generally, the facility will cover the cost of cremation once the body is no longer being used for study, and some facilities have a cemetery plot where they will bury the bodies if that is requested. But, if your next-of-kin want the remains to be given back to them, they may end up having to cover the costs of cremation or burial. While you may be a good candidate for body donation and you've correctly filled out the paperwork, your body may end up being rejected. If your body decomposed, suffered trauma, or experienced a major operation, you may not actually be accepted. Decide what you'd like done if body donation does not work out. Again, make these wishes clear to your family, since they'll be fulfilling them after your death. It's always a good idea to put it into writing and notify your attorney. Remember that you may be able to donate your organs even if you couldn't donate your body. While the decision to harvest suitable organs will be made at the time of your death, you should fill out paperwork and inform your family in advance. This way, if your body isn't accepted, your organs may be.
summary: Inform your doctor and family members. Discuss funeral or memorial options. Make alternative arrangements.
