I've got severe social anxiety disorder too OP, you're not alone. I'm not socially inept, I'm not stupid; I just get incredibly uncomfortable and think irrationally when I'm in certain social situations. It took its toll on my social life, my sports, and my school. I have such an immense fear of being judged that I try not to stand out in any way. I can't initiate conversation, I can't take risks; and manning up by fighting through it does nothing but leave me a worthless stuttering, awkward psychological wreck.
I just can't be confident, even though I have every reason to be. I'm very good looking, in amazing shape, an extremely talented athlete, and smart as a fucking whip. Chicks are always checking me out, but naturally, I can't close the deal, or open it for that matter. It doomed me to being a chronic underachiever.
I started taking cipralex (canadian version of lexapro) and it seems to be working nicely. I'm 6 weeks in and my anxiety is substantially better. I think you should talk to your doctor about it, OP. Be sure to ask him to prescribe a stimulant like Adderall with it though, otherwise you wont be able to concentrate worth a shit and you'll probably get fat.
