I'm no expert but if I were you (and I don't mean this to sound condescending) I would go out and try to get a job. That way you aren't in the house all the time PLUS you would make new friends at your new job. Don't be afraid to work at a McDonalds or somewhere like that. I worked in a restaurant for awhile and it was one of the most fun jobs I've ever had. Also, try to get out and do some kind of walking, running or some type of exercise. Sitting in front of the TV and computer all day isn't helping with your anxiety. I have the tingling in my head sometimes too. not sure what it is, but I doubt it's serious. The watering eyes could be allergies or it could be from sitting in front of the TV and computer all the time.

hi stevie, im so glad that you came to this board for advice. it sounds like you are avoiding people in general, and does it feel like the longer you go without socializing with people the harder it gets to be to actually doing it? this could be even walking into a store and dealing with a clerk. even that makes you feel different? it sounds like this is what your going through, and you are not alone! i think everyone goes through something like this at some point in their lives and this is your way of dealing with all of the change that has been going on in your life. basically by NOT dealing with it! the longer you go with not interacting with other people the harder it will seem to be to do it. you probably feel like you dont have a life at this new place because everything you did know is gone, and its up to you to start a new life in a new place and get new friends and a new job, and its okay to hate the new boyfriend! he and your mother are not living your life, and by resisting trying to make a go of it at the new place is not going to hurt them at all. just you. oh, they might yell and scream but thats about it. so you need to start out small, like walking to the store, or around the block, you would be surprised at the people you can meet just doing stuff like that and you will feel better. please let me know how you are doing. take care, tracy

could you tell us why you were having panic attacks last year?

i think i had them because this dude that i was friends with was always around drugs and doing them and i didnt like that so i try to get away but endd up going to the places with him witch nade me nad always was naggen and stuff like that plus im afraid of almost everything so and i dont know why but like you said im gonna get off my lazy bum and try to get a job oh yeah on of the main reasons im afraid is my teeth they are really bad so i try not to take that much so im off now to look at the paper about jobs. :cool:

stevie, do a search on the net for dental clinics in your area. there are free dental clinics in every city for low or no income people. thats good that your thinking about the job thing, but if you feel to overwhemed just take it slow, and start by getting outside more. you dont have to try to overcome everything at once. keep us all posted! :wave:
