Hi,
I am a 25 year old female. I have always been shy, though since the
last couple of years, I get extremely agitated if I am the center of
attention. I am a student and find it difficult to talk in my class.
I lost a parent a couple of years back and since then I seem to have
panic attacks when the spotlight is on me. I have been pretty
outgoing and on the inside I still am, but when there are even 3 or 4
people in the group, I panic when they look at me. Maybe I could
control it if it was just panic, but I get physical symptoms like
twitching of my eyes, which I just cannot avoid.
I have been trying to fight this symptom, but I havent been able to
do it and id is very frustrating. I feel that if it was palpitation,
sweating etc, it is not totally visible to the other people, but the
twitching is so obvious, that I almost always get up run away to
compose myself. It is so embarassing.
PLEASE HELP. I dont know what to do about it and I dont know who to
talk to. I feel it is all hopeless. I will never be able to get a job
and go to work. I will never be able to live a normal life
