Anyone else suffer from panick attacks/social anxiety disorder?
last night driving home from a party, shortness of breath, heavyness in the chest, a bit shaky (the "shakes")...
i've had other panick attacks similar to this, during the social, but more so afterwards. sometimes heart palpatations are present.
it's the most miserable feeling, i think like i'm dying and i can't control it.
so i finally got home and took some medicine, whcih made me feel somewhat better.
sometimes i freak out just doing normal everyday activities, like waiting in line at the post office, I get these physical symptoms. or just going to corporate meetings with many people around, that really frightens me to the point where i avoid the situation all together. I can see this becoming very debilitating if I don't do something to control it.
anyone else conqure social anxiety / panick attacks with no drugs or alcohol? i'm very anxious to hear your stories.
thanks for your help & advice.
(btw, pelican parts OT is the best therapy money can buy - it's free!)
