Hi. I'm 17, and I really think that I have got SA, and I have my first appointment with ym psychiatrist next week. Could people here please give their opinions on what they think I have? The symptoms I have of SA are:
- Pyschical - sweating, panic attacks, rapid breathing, and sometimes insomnia.
- I can't ever leave my house, because I always think that people are talking and staring at me, and I feel that I will either get attacked, or doing something embarassing and people will look down on me. I am overweight and this is why I don't know whether it is a self confidence thing because of my weight, or if I have SA.
- I had to quit college, because I thought all gangs were talking about me, and when I had to speak in class, my voice would change, and I couldn't breathe because I was that nervous.
- I am extremely nervous all the time. Whether it is a knock on the door or the phone rining, I start to sweat, and breathe rapidly.
- I have lost most of my friends, but the one friend I have always invites me to parties, and I always make excuses not to go because I am that nervous and scared of going.
- I can't get on a bus, as sitting in a packed place makes me nervous, and when there are people standing up on the bus, I have to get off as I start to have a panic attack. I can't get on a bus at all now.
Sorry for the long post, but I am really unsure whether I have SA or just low self confidence. Can you please help me, and tell me what you think, and if you have SA, did you have the same symptoms.
Many thanks.
