Are you anxious in social situations? Such as when walking in crowds or when talking to a stranger? I often blush abnormally and heart race in social situations and recently I started to participate in a program at my campus conducted by clinical psychology students. It like a.. counseling/therapy done in private. So far..not yet working haha.

I think you should try the electrostatic therapy machine of Al Jabbar. It works on nerve.

I think looking for friends that have the same problem is more helpful. Like a support group smile.gif

On the contrary, you should avoid that, support group will actually backfired, you should avoid talking about your anxiety experience at all cost, maybe a few times to your close friends or family members but not after that, because anxiety thoughts are learned bad habits, it's harmless, worst case you will have panick attack but that is also harmless because it's a normal physical reaction of fear & adrenaline rush for fight-or-flight response which is nonexistent, if you keep talking about it & be reminded about it constantly, your anxiety thoughts will become persistent & hard to shake off over time.

What you should do however is try to fill up your free times with positive activities such as sports, singing, listen to music, chitchat with friends (anything but anxiety stuff), hobbies etc, this will avoid your idling mind to wander into negative thoughts, when you practice these new habits constantly, you will unlearned your bad habits in no time. nod.gif

Be happy & No worry.  biggrin.gif

Hmm well for me, talking about my problems helps as it keeps me aware and motivate me to deal with the problem. But I guess different people have different ways of dealing with problems smile.gif

This is a severe form of a panic attack, but I found myself being able to relate sweat.gif

Me too! And as a result I tend to run away from everyone, and will end up just sleeping most of the time sad.gif

You'll have to learn to cope with it, it is very hard i tell you, but not impossible.
It took me 6 month to let myself be brave to go out, hangout with friends at mamaks. (by this time i have medical help i.e Alprazolam)
But in times, i learn to take less pills, and face the attacks, face to face without the pills, sometime i succeed, sometimes i dont.
Now it has been a year. And i have learnt how breath, when its hard to breath, i learnt how to calm, when its hard to calm.
But still i always have Alprazolam pills with me, in case of super duper anxiety/panic attacks. by super duper i mean, combo ah, hard to breath, tremor, disoriented, blur vision, and pain all over the body.

It takes time to adjust. But im sure you will succeed too.

FYI, i have daily attacks, my doctor says, not many ppl had daily attacks.

Wow.. I really admire your efforts! Must be really hard. Stay strong! notworthy.gif

I also tried hanging out with people nowadays, but I dunno I think Im very picky and can't stand some people. It's like I will have a social overload or something. For example after going out with a group of friend I'll be like "whoaaa okay I need some timeout." And I will spend some time eating and going for a jog alone for a few days (even weeks). Is that normal?

But when it comes to a presentation or education related task, I try to breath calmly and try to talk really slowly to reduce my anxiety and I think I speak better in front of a class rather than speaking to a stranger. When it gets more personal, I get more anxious.
