agrophobic symptoms ? help

[Clown]

My social anxiety is ultra high when I feel I can not escape..
Like sitting down in a chair face to face and as soon I get up I feel the tension is relieved and I can talk freely and even smile while sitting I look cold and tensed.
The same is within a room of people I constant feel the need to escape as soon I leave the room I feel like a different person.

hi...i am so sorry you are feeling like this...i feel the same and am so angry and frustrated that we are experiencing this. I am begining to think i will end up trapped in my flat. More and more places are becoming out of bounds...and the only place i am sure i will not experience anxiety is in my flat...instead i feel lonely, depressed and upset. Why is this happening to us?

Know what you are feeling Jael im scared of the future will bring me to.. alone, sad, no wife, quit at the job ... don't want to be social anxious grown up man in my 40's... maybe its party in for us in 2012 but that probaly wouldn't happen either


Im actually very social before my sa and in places outside where I can look and walk free like park I can be more social then non sa-suffers.... but you need to go to school need work and that are places I feel trapped and that are the places where you are 70% of the day why can't our west scoiety just go back to hunting and farming like our great great grandparents It would be much more comfertable

Hey, I was diagnosed a few years ago, not many people know, i hold down a job...not my dream job, i chose it carefully so i am hidden away. I have big dreams...but when i try to make them reality, it's like my SA wacks me round the head and i fall back into my humdrum existence. I keep getting back up again and again..but i'm so tired. I'm so exhausted. This is the easy stuff...we're not supposed to sweat the eay stuff and i can't even go into a shop without my heart doing backflips. I got CBT and i thought i was cured...for a while but the last 2 weeks its all coming back again, i'm experiencing anxiety attacks nearly everyday. What will our futures hold? a sad half lived life?
I'm the same, noone would know i was anxious, i cover up extremely well, i appear confident but i have so many rules about where i go, at what time, trying to control the anxiety kicking off. Having to study and work and shop...it makes me push past the limits but it takes it out of me. I agree...i dream of living a really simple life, just living, surviving, living in a cottage, living off the land, i believe we are all clustered into towns and cities and stressed out trying to live the ideal successful lifestyle that is killing us slowly. There must be more to life than this......surely?

sure there is more jael as long as we don't have socialphobia lol
this social phobia can only lead to die old sad and alone or drives you to kill your self, without people knowing how special you really are
