So I have social anxiety that has been growing exponentially over the past year. All my life I’ve been shy but now I’m truly terrified of social situations or being the center of attention (like going to get my graduation photos done because my parents are forcing me, I was even considering getting doped up on painkillers before going xP) and I often find myself blushing just thinking about awkward social situations. I can’t even keep eye contact with most people.

It keeps me from doing important things in my life auuuuuugh.

My doctor gave me xanax for panic attacks, but I am so afraid to take them, I get panicky
just thinking about it. I don’t like to drink because I dont like the way it makes me feel.
When I had my daughter I was given stadol and it was the worst feeling, I could hear everything going on around me but I felt like I couldn’t move or talk. Is xanax like this?

I always want to mention it in an application or a job interview but I’m afraid that I may not get the job - even though I know it has made my performance suffer in the past and it may have been different if I had mentioned it to a manager. I also think that people don’t really understand anxiety or panic attacks and probably think I’m just a cry baby who wants to be treated with less pressure.

MY 16 mo. old son is not walking on his own yet so his Dr. is sending him to physical therapy. He is not delayed on anything but walking. He crawls, walks holding on to things and can climb on and off of furniture by himself. I’m just wanting to know what will happen when I take him to physical therapy. Will the therapist take the time to let him get used to her because he doesn’t like strangers. How long does each session usually last for each person or does it just depend on each case? Thanks for any advice anyone has to offer.

Please take the time to read, this is serious and I may need the best help and answers you got.

I’m laying all my cards out on this one. I’m 23 years old, I’m 5′10 and weigh 220. For the past 2 years I’ve witnessed Panic Atacks in my life and Anxiety, ever since my Dad’s company closed and I had to find work elsewhere, but since the econmey sucks, its hard to get a job which help caused anxiety (stress) in my life now. For the past 8 months or so I’ve been getting worse with the anxiety and panic attacks.

Everyday I feel weird, Its really confusing on how to explain this, and for the past few months it has been like this everyday. I’m afraid to go to work now because of this problem, I dont want to live off of mental disability.
The problems that I have happens everyday; ok, and its hard for me to explain but i will try the best i can, I feel like my head is going to explode with all the stupid thinking i do on worring and etc about my health (which causes me to go into a panic attack), At times i feel woozy like I’m going to pass out (but i never pass out, or experienced it) and when this happends I think about "Oh My God, am I going to die" "Am I having a Stroke" "Whats wrong with me this isnt normal"
I’ve never felt like this in my whole life, I’ve always been healthy. Also when I feel dizzy and headache like symptoms,At times I Get these weird chills that go up my back or at least one side to my face down. (which scare me of having a passout moment, stoke or heart attack) I did the study on Stokes and Heartattacks but this isnt in its defenition at all. When I go out with my girlfriend, I cant stand being in public at times, and there are days that I dont mind going out. I start thinking about my health and worring about it, then i dewell on it which cause me to go into a panic state and I get the woozy (dizzy spells) the weird pain in my head and chill like shakes.
The Dr. put me on Lexapro at first, then i gave it its rounds and the results were bad, they made me mean. Then the Dr. gave me Paxil, I gave it its rounds and It just didnt help at all, made it worse for me at times. Then the Dr. gave me Prozac and Vistaril (Vistiral only when having Anxiety attack which made me drunk like and tired) I; on Prozac, just gave it a week and found the side effects very bad, nothing that could kill me of course but didnt make me feel too good. I Give Up on Pills, I’ve never had this problem in my life and never had to take pills for anything. I was affraid that the pills would cause me to have a stroke or heart attack.
Since this has been an everday effect with me, for the past month now i have been trying to eat right and exersize more, due to the fact, ive been tired of feeling like this and all i did before is sit around and play games or watch TV, made me depressed and I’ve never been Depressed (*makes me mad* but i’ve been more active now lately) cause people are telling me that working out and eating right will help out alot, but I feel no change at times. Since this has been an everday thing, I dont want this to kill me later on down the road, actually i fear this could kill me, could it?.
Is this normal Anxiety / Panic Attacks? Am I a Hypocondriact (however you spell it, the phobia when you feel your sick all the time)

Thank you for your time.
Yes I went to the Dr. for Cat Scan, everything is fine, and Blood Work, everything is clear. FYI

I have been having really bad panic attacks and I visited my doctor and was put on xanax but my prescription has ran out and I am unable to get another one right now. Does anyone know of anything that can treat panic attacks, does anyone know of any over the counter drugs that can get rid of panic attacks?

*Please take the time to read this, it would mean so much to me*

Alright, this has been eating away my life for the past 8 years. I dont know when it started, but all i know is that it has to end. This is the first time i have embraced this issue, its my first attempt to make this life-ruining sickness go away. Please, no negative comments unless there absolutely necessary. Im sick of living the way I have been but I dont know what to do. I consider myself a social retard. When I get in an area with many people, I just freak. I sweat, I get jittery, I freeze and I just dont know what to say. Ive been told that I come off as a snob when Im just to shy and scared to talk to people. Ive never really had friends, I do have some, but the simple relationships I have have taken many more years to form then they should have taken. I just dont know what to do. When Im one-on-one with somebody, im fine.
Im good with flirting with girls, just not getting the balls to go up to them infront of people, I just cant do social situations, no matter who it involves. I just, I cant handle this. My own family is starting to notice and I just dont know what to think or do. Theres nothing I can do about it, when im in a social situation, I just freeze up and sweat. My cousin is having a wedding soon, and im already dreading it, not cause i mind sitting by myself, being scared to talk to people… but because of the crap i know im gonna take from ppl for being a snob. Every second that im out of my house, i just got tired, sweaty, and jittery. I cant handle this. Ive been ignoring this issue for the past 8 years, dealing with the pain by just drowning in self-pitty. If anyone knows how this can be fixed, please, tell me.
srj? WTF DUDE? no, im not gay.. Ive had 4 girlfriends, all of which i did sexual things with, and i enjoyed all of it…. If u read the whole thing, ude know that im good with flirting with girls, and im alright with talking to be ppl if its just me and another person… Im talking about big, social situations.

My dogs have been certified as therapy animals, but the organization does not certify any other animals. I know that cats and other animals are used for therapy. I have a wonderful cat who would be a great therapy animal and I would like to have him work alongside my dogs. Does anyone know of an organization that certifies animals other than dogs for therapy?

I’ve seen a psychologist about anxiety and panic. He put me on xanax and lexapro, both make me feel like a zombie. Any way I went in for a job interview yesterday and started to feel very anxious and panicky, more than normal. I left the business as fast as I could without being interviewed. I felt much better when I was out but I feel like this is starting to control my life. Any advice or suggestions on how to fight this?
