Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site, just need some people to talk to because im sick of feeling so alone :weep:
I suffer from panic attacks alot, however they are usually triggered by particular 'fears' that I have developed. One main one being eating and drinking in front of certain people. Usually people who are not family or really close friends. I hate it so much because people as me to go out for a meal and I have to make up an excuse or suggest to do something else. It drives me mad! It's because I have a fear that I will get nervous and shake. So I have developed a fear of showing fear. The only person who knows is my boyfriend and he supports me alot but I don't think he realises how much it effects and bothers me and how I feel when it happens. He says he has never noticed it but thats because I am ok around him and I try to avoid all the situations when it can happen. I understand that its stupid and when I feel it starting to happen I think 'come on this is pathetic there is nothing to worry about' but there is another part of me which just switches on the panic and there is nothing I can do.
I've started to think about seeing a doctor because I have completely had enough. Does anyone have the same problem?
