> For the longest time I've been calling it SAD...when i talk to the pdoc or whatever, but now im beginning to wonder if its something a little more, like panic attacks, that I should bring up at my next appointment? Quick diagnosis somebody...: as an example, the other night at the coffee shop, its a local place, very small, underground, very chill. anyway i do some relaly cool artwork, and i wanted to ask if it might be possible to display one of them somewhere in the shop....."even above the toilet i will gladly take!"....it took me about 30 minutes of heavy convincing from my friends to ask just this simple question. During this time , I wanted to ask very badly, but just couldnt force myself to do it. As for panic symptoms, which i dont know much about, I defintly got the very tight chest whicch I have now become used to, and sometimes even a tight stomach as well....not sick feeling, just tight chest/heart..and slightly upset stomach...of course during al this anxiety/paranoia all goes up slightly more than whats normal for me. is this a slight panic attack? IF so, is there something else I should look at besides what I'm on now?

Do you have a lot of friends? I know people with SAD, atleast severe SAD like I had would find it very difficult to make/keep friends. Heck even going to a coffee shop with your friends tells me it might not be SAD. SAD for me affecting anything I did that would involve social activites such as going to a coffee shop, or even walking to the mailbox. Do you feel like everyone is watching and judging you all the time or was it just when you were about to ask this question you felt this sense of panic? How are you in other social situations? I am not to familar with the drugs your taking and by no means an expert but they do not look like drugs that would help much with SAD.
