welcome to the forum.....you certainly are not alone in those feelings.......i've had them all myself.....now i'm to the point where i work everyday with little problem.....but going out socially ...around lots of people is still hard.....especially during the sv season....thank god that's over.

hopefully you will find some help in here. are you on any meds? i take prozac which totally helped me stop obsessing so much about the n and fear of going out........i also have a script for valium if i do have a panic attack.....but i'm even doing well dealing with them now without the drugs.

i use lots of distractions when i get panicky.........i go online to live trivia rooms where you really have to concentrate.....it takes over so the anxiety has to move on out......play cards, do a crossword or soduko puzzle.....anything to get you mind off the n.

good luck in here.....lots of us to help when you need it
