psychotherapy

Hi to all,im going to start a Social Phobia treatment with psychotherapy and drugs, (Anafranil 25mg and Geodon 60mg),as you know this mental disorder annuls you to interact with people. But i can’t just stay at home and watch the world behind the window. My idea is maybe kind of contradictory but i think it can help me to earn some money and self-help for my Social Phobia. My "brilliant idea" is to get a Sales job, yes a Sales job, i think it maybe can help me learn to interact with people and get some social skills. I have a job interview tomorrow for a sales employee (bank products sales) here in my country, i had experience as a telemarketer also a degree in industrial engineering and some other jobs within the industry (i don’t like it by the way so i don’t want to continue practicing it, don’t ask me why),for the near future i want to get a psychology degree, i want to help people with all kind of mental disorders (Mayor depression,OCD,Phobias etc),since my adolescence i’ve been suffering traumas,complexes,low self-steem,Mayor Depression, Anxiety and the Social Phobia, so i know how sad it can be..
How do you think is my idea? =D

Every time someone hears about my attacks, I get useless and banal "advice" on overcoming them. People with no real psychological education other than reading self help books and watching Dr. Phil. My favorite is "suck it up" and "be a man." So anyone out there with panic disorder get this often or notice this? Does it bug you? How do you cope? It’s bad enough to have an illness that has you by the throat, but to endure constant ignorance is just salt in the wound.
10 years with panic disorder (agoraphobia on and off) Have been on Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa, Effexor, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc.

Tested for bi-polar and manic depression..hade neither, but was given Depikote "just in case" and it reacted badly.

8 years for constant therapy, psychotherapy, CBT, meditation and relaxation techniques, feedback related techniques and very little progress with most. CBT is still current and on going.
