New Member suffering with anxiety

[janey72]

Hi, I am new to this website. Been to the docs today as i think i am suffering with anxiety/panic attacks. I went out for a meal a few weeks back and i felt really uncomfortable my heart starting beating fast and I got red blotches all on my neck and my face starting burning up and i just wanted to run out, it has bothered me that much that i get scared to go out. I got invitited to the cinema this week but didnt go cus i thought it'd happen again.
has anyone else felt like this - please help!!!!!!!!

Hello I'm new too
Your symptoms sound similair to mine when I have an attack, it's sounds weird but it's nice to know I'm not the only one that feels this way. I totally understand you feeling like you don't want to go out anywhere public. I try to make sure that I go out (even if its just close to my house) everyday though, if I don't I get weird and panicky as well-can't seem to win!
