Sorry, only just seen this part of the forum and have jumped in feet first posting in another section.
Anxiety attacks me from getting a bus to socialising. I shake, get nervous butterflies but mainly I get a lump in my throat which makes me baulk anf vomit. I also obviously feel physically sick. This is a nightmare as you can't just sit in a corner of the bus panicking and hoping nobody notices as if you are going to be physically sick, you have to get off. People give you horrible looks as though you're filth when they hear you baulking and going out for a meal is a no no.
I say all this but for the last few years, my anxiety has been pretty controlled due to me taking medication for the first time in 25 years. I came off the medication a couple of years ago but feel it's trying to make a bit of a come back, although at the moment it's in the background and has only shown it's ugly face on a couple of occasions.
