I think you have a wonderful attitude and that you're doing very well. The fact that you can usually handle your social anxiety on your own, and only need help with anti-anxiety medicine a few times a month, tells me that you are doing something right.
I am sorry, however, that you don't feel you can share this with your boyfriend or close friends. Not even in a quiet moment? You might try sometime, with someone you feel very close to. They just might surprise you by being supportive and understanding. (Yes, they might be startled at first since you present such a happy front to the world, but after that I think they'd really try to understand.)
