It's for me a combination of social anxiety and PTSD. But it manifests as panic attacks.
It started at work this morning, a man came to fix someone's computer, there were already 2 people in the office who aren't normally there, and the IT men were standing up and near my desk. I just wanted to hide.
I should have taken a propranolol or some rescue remedy, but I didn't. :weep:
Then I had to do my food shopping, and had to run around flinching from everyone and trying desperately to escape. I felt so trapped and unsafe.
Everyone was staring at me and I just wanted to be invisible but have my space. :weep:
I'm home now, and have taken some rescue remedy.
I still feel a bit shaken up.
Does anyone else get anything like this? What helps you?
I feel so ashamed. I hate feeling like this. But I feel I have to protect myself. And I feel so alone.
