My Life with Facial Blushing
I am a 34 year old Australian man currently living in Huston, Texas and together with some friends that I met online, we decided it was time for a web-ring focusing on facial blushing. Together we have set up four pages with information and our personal stories as well as stories we have heard from other people we know. It is our goal to give sufferers a one-stop website for information about treatment and cures. I know how difficult it is to find information on the internet so I hope this may bring you comfort.
Read My Story Below About How I Grew Up With Facial Blushing
Facial blushing has been with me since I was a kid, but it did not become a problem until I hit puberty. What used to be "cute" when I was young was now becoming a problem. Every time the teacher asked me questions in class, or when I needed to present assignments I went bright red. It did not take long before the fear of blushing stopped me from doing things that I deep down I really wanted to do. Luckily for me I had friends that I felt comfortable with and at times they practically dragged me out of my comfortable dorm room. I fear that if I did not have them I may have locked myself in my room, becoming a hermit. It was during this time at college when I seriously started to look for a way to cure or treat my facial blushing. I, like many others went to the doctor and was prescribed an anti-depressant drug. This drug is part of a group of medicines called SSRI (Selective Serotonine Reuptake Inhibitors) but I do not want to give a name as it is up to your doctor to prescribe the correct drug for your condition. However, it did somewhat help alleviate the redness, but I did not like what it did to me. Some people have positive experiences when using drugs to treat facial blushing, but for me it made me feel like a zombie, without any real ups or downs. I also put on some weight and so after a year or so I decided it was time to stop pretending the medication was working and find another way to deal with my facial blushing. After some online searches that left me contemplating surgery, I found that some sufferers had success with hypnosis and something called NLP.
This approach was successful for me, but unfortunately I cannot say that it will work for everybody. I am now pretty much blushing free and even though I have occasional setbacks (usually in extremely daunting situations) I no-longer consider facial blushing a problem.
