I did it! Last night I went to my college classes! Be warned though because this is going to get long.
In the 7th grade I went to therapy for social anxiety. I was never really able to make friends and got in trouble for reading in the bathroom a lot. Teachers didn't get it and my mom didn't get it but thankfully my step dad saw what was happening and they took me to talk to someone. Fast forward to high school my first two years were great! I had one or two friends and could sit through an entire class day and even participate. Junior year my step father died and because of that change and the changes in the way people treated me it all came rushing back and I missed most of my junior year. Senior year I was on medications and I was able to deal but mostly sat in the corner and never spoke. At 18 I tried to go away to college but drove myself home six weeks in and dropped out. Now I try to make friends since we work at the boarding school and everyone is around always but it is hard. Going to school without medications last night was the first time I attempted anything really scary med free in years. I am so excited for myself and for once I am actually looking forward to going out to dinner with all of our friends tonight.
TL;DR? I have social anxiety and had been medicated to get through high school. I dropped out of college because I couldn't handle it even with medication and had been afraid to go back until now. Got through it!

Good job! I sometimes still struggle with the same issues that you do so I can relate. Even the smallest steps are exciting!
