Does this sound like any type of anxiety disorder/problem?!


Question:

Does this sound like any type of anxiety disorder/problem?

Even when I am in an otherwise good mood, I quite frequently am overcome with strong feelings of worry and fear. I start freaking out and become very hot and extremely sweaty. This usually happens in social events, but it can happen even when I am alone by myself. I feel all awkward and like everyone is judging me. I usually don't know why I feel these feelings.It is really stressful because I don't know how to control it and I just get these feelings of un-confidence, being empty and alone, and like I am being judged. Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone know what it is?


Answers:

You probably have Social Anxiety Disorder. You've listed some of the symptoms. This disorder is more common than many People think. I have it Myself.
Yes, You will have to have the Help of a Qualified Therapist and/or a Psychiatrist, to get control of this disorder AND The Beginning Signs of a Panic Attack IE freaking out...very hot and extremely sweaty...
Please go to a search engine such as Yahoo.com, Google.com, Ask.com, etc. and put in the words social anxiety disorder, and/or panic disorders.
They have total web sites dedicated to social anxiety disorder like: http://socialphobia.org.
And to read about panic disorders, try looking at the National Institute of Mental Health or NIMH run by the government.
"nimh.gov?"
Do Your Research ASAP and then Look for a Doctor/Therapist quickly. This disorder can progress to the point where I sought Help. I waited until I could no longer face leaving My Home, even to go to Work or the Store for Food, because I would have panic Attacks just thinking of leaving to go "Out There." I became a Prisoner in my own home.
With the Help of My Therapist, I can now go to the Library and a small food store. I'm on my way back to Freedom!
Just thought I'd save you the long trip back to functioning in the outside world.
