Thanxs for replying to me, it does help just knowing im not alone in my problems. ive turned into a loner & i dont want to be one. i have for the past 3mths stayed in my room after work, just shutting myself away. when i get panicky i start to sweat,go hot, red, my heart beats fast,feel sick,feel like i need the toliet when i dont & if i cant calm down i get a miagraine which is horrible. i feel for you & understand how hard it is for you.i have been on meds for 12years & i know you want to fight it & not be relient on pills. i try breathing exercises which sometimes works.sometimes i cant swich off at night to sleep & i get panicky just with everyday thoughts running through my head.i wish i wasnt like this but i am. i understand how hard it is just going out, crowds of people can be scarey. how long have you been a loner,suffering from anxiety.are you afraid of going to college? i hope you can beat your social anxiety. i feel safe at home, only problem is im lonely & will never meet anyone sitting in my room! i force myself to go out but its such a struggle. im nervous thinking about it & sometimes when im out im still nervous.it would be nice to be holding that someone special in my arms but ijust cant see how its going to happen.how bad are your miagraines & have you found out what trigers them? i worry alot but in my heart i dont honestly know what makes me nervous or depressed.
