Hi Warkie

Are you alone today? When I'm feeling as you described (Happens quite often!!) I try to distract myself by seeing people.... I'm lucky as I have a close friend who has a lovely 2 year old so seeing them is a great distraction and before I know it I'm feeling normal again. Otherwise maybe try and go for a walk? Anything to get you thinking about other things. I know it's hard but try not to start panicking about tonight yet, I do this all the time as well, I'm always worried about feeling anxious when I'm out, letting people down and cancelling plans and then I find I'm sat at home feeling absolutely fine and annoyed at myself for cancelling! Hope that helps a little, you're not alone! x

Hi, I have a panic disorder and social anxiety. For the past 3 weekends i've been cancelling on my friends and feel terrible for it. I often feel disorientated and worry that they will notice. However, it is best to try and face it, you will feel better afterwards! The longer I put off meeting my friends the worst it seems when I actually have to! I'm nearly 18 and really trying to overcome my anxiety, but it's the hardest thing in the world! Dont worry you aren't alone!! Try and talk to someone like counsellor or GP it will really help to be reassured! xxx

hi, the majority or us get bad side effects with meds, you have to weight up the pros and the cons as to if they are worth it. x
