I'm so tired of feeling like this. I need support and don't know what anybody can say to help me. Everybody says hang in there but damn I'm at the end of my rope..I've tied a knot and I'm hanging on as tight as I can.
I wanna laugh, I don't wanna feel this saddness deep inside of me and I don't want to keep freking out everywhere I go.
We had to go to dinner for my brother in laws birthday tonight and the whole night has just been a blur to me. I remember sitting in the restaurant and just staring at my plate, feeling sick to my stomach and feeling like I was stuck in my own little sad world. I could see people laughing around me but couldn't join. I couldn't snap out of it and then I started getting anxious thinking OMG everybody probably knows I'm freaking out right now, they must think I have serious issues (I do ) but I don't like feeling like I'm being judged and truth be known now that I'm home nobody probably even noticed. I was invisable.
Does all that make sense?

Same thing happened to me. I quit going out to dinner and that was a mistake. Keep trying and it sounds like severe anxiety. fondly, Phillipa

first of all, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. we are all here for you. many people on this board have been through the same, if not worse. many of them have gotten better, and you can too. it took a lot of time to get into the condition you are now, and it will take time and effort to get better. but it CAN be done.
three things: 1. continue to share your feelings with us so we can help, 2. consider meds if you are not taking any, 3. and consider working with a professional on training your thought pattterns or "re-newing the mind"
there is hope for u. hang in there. this too shall pass.

You have no idea how much it means to me (well maybe you do) I ended up taking a xanex last night and just calling it a night. I felt myself spinning down deeper and deeper so I knew I needed to just relax. This morning I woke up and I'm trying real hard to feel positive about today.
My son has a baseball game today so hopefully I'm strong enough to not get social phobic out there. Say a prayer for me and I'll update you guys later.
Thanks stranger friends (((hugs))))
