Hi Fallinstar,

to NMP. It's great that you've joined. I can really understand how you're feeling as I have social anxiety & panic - it can be so difficult to go anywhere that you have to face people. I have found that it's the fear itself beforehand that is one of the most difficult things to cope with. If you gradually go into the situations it does get easier - as you'll build confidence that you can do it.

'i tryed going to see someone at my local mental health place, but i couldnt go in, im too scared of people.'

I felt like this when I had to go to the doctors - when I went into the waiting room I kept feeling that I wanted to run out and that I wouldn't be able to speak. When I managed to get through it o.k. I kept telling myself that if I did it once I could do it again.

There is a lot of help & information here. Keep on posting - I think it helps to talk about how you're feeling.

All the best xx
