I don't fit in any of these disorders, but I really suffer from anxiety. I always worry too much, and when my thoughts get negative I get down and get the symptoms of depression etc.
It started with a bad experience in a swimming pool when I was 5 and the phobias started to build up... In high school, when I was about 14, I got "scared of being scared", started to hyperventilate when adults forced me to overcome my anxieties. (And it never worked, it just comes back the day after)
I wouldn't say I have social phobia and hypochondria, but I do have so many worries about my health and how other people think of me, that I feel nervous most of the time. I also have physical complaints and the doctor says it's the anxiety.
And then I start to avoid situations that make me anxious... I don't like crowdy and noisy places, it already happened to me that I just ran out of the building panicking.
It's getting harder to get out of my 'safe zone' (my bedroom), because of the anxiety and the depressed feeling...
What should I do?
