Panic Attacks

Post Reply New Topic

Panic Attacks, I most always feel like I am on the verge of one. Its kind of funny how the mind makes excuses for something that is biological, it took me years to realize I was trying to blame everything else for something I then didn't understand, and its still hard not to do it. I quite often feel panicky when someone walks up to the neighbors door wondering if its someone coming to my door (I live in apartment), I have a vary hard time wanting to work around other people, when I do work I try and go in at nights or weekends when no one is around and now and then I am thrown work where no one is around, they just tell me what to do and I go do it. they just recently added cameras to the building I maintain, I about flipped, they gave someone else the janitorial jobs because of it while I still maintain the grounds. when having to deal with people I do not know my mind seems to want to freeze and I cant think. I isolate my self in my home and its just me and my son, we do go out but its like field trips rock hounding and the like just him and me. about the only exceptions is shopping thrift stores and yard sales. and it seems to be getting progressive as I age. I just started taking medications for it, they put me on anti depressants (go figure), just started them a little under a month ago, not sure how much their working though. I am just sick of always feeling this way. my anxieties, esp the social ones is off the scale. like when I have an appointment with someone new, even months ahead of time, I am anxious about it and it builds as I wait. with someone I have known for a few years I am fairly OK, in fact with new people I tend to stutter badly where I am fairly fine with those I do know.
