Panic/Social Anxiety Disorders

I would like to share some experiences I have had with dealing with anxiety, and more recently, trying to overcome leaving the house and dealing with the public. Fear, and anxiety is increased and it takes all I have each day to just get up, get dresed and more often than not, I do not leave the house.

I write/blog about my issues, and hope someone can get some comfort out of the knowledge that there are many of us out there, who feel alone, but we need to support each other.

Hi, It is comforting to know that others feel this way, thou it doesn't make me feel any more normal. So what do you do? What is working for you and not working? Are you on medication? in therapy? in support groups?
I am so wishing I could learn how to cope with daily stuff that makes me want to crawl into a cave, eat, and never leave. It is embarrassing and draining. I hope that you can connect with my whining b/c it does seem to help to whine to someone else who feels the same b/c you can be more positive that they are not going to look at you like you are crazy or with pitty. God Bless.

I know exactly what you are talking about jennifere...I have panic disorder and it is so upsetting. I am starting Prozac today and praying it's going to be the right medicine for me. I took Paxil for 11 years but it stopped working. I've recently tried being on nothing and trying to deal with it holistically but that didn't work for me personally. I hope today finds you better :)
