Social anxiety and panic

[Amyhaspanicattacks83]

I just want to know if anyone else has been through this that had social anxiety with severe panic attacks and had a hard time leaving home

[misscatiedee]

I do.

Amy...

I certainly do. Social anxiety is a big one for me. I’m mostly a homebody. And the times I’m out and about and amongst a strange crowd I get quite anxious and aggravated.

Certainly, you are not alone.

I also have social anxiety and don't have any friends because of it.

I don't even feel anxious. All that happens is I get hot flashes and dizzy and sweaty palms and then I feel faint. I'm afraid of passing out in public. Does the panic every go away? Is there any good meds for this?

Hello! My anxiety tends to consume me to the point where I'll become agoraphobic. It becomes difficult to hangout with my friends or even new people because it convinces me that they would have a better time without me. Sometimes I really do want to talk to people but the words just aren't there....you are NOT alone or crazy! <3

I do, I made myself go out but I get certain thoughts that scare me and then I stress over them
