Honestly you may need ADHD meds. I still get a lot of anxiety about social situations but it's much milder since starting meds, and it doesn't come with that adrenaline spike, I think since I already have something providing the dopamine necessary for me to feel like I can handle it. I've found my social anxiety has gone way down since starting stimulants, as well as anxiety caused by executive dysfunction and procrastination. The meds have made me feel way smoother and better regulated.
