General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I was so excited for this weekend because my best friend was coming to visit me. But we went shopping basically all day yesterday and to a movie and then today we had to go back to the mall so she could catch her bus. Normally i only go shopping for things i need like food and then i go home, she doesnt understand how anxious and nervous i get. Shes one of those people who loves to be around other people. PLus she was meeting my bf and they didnt get along the first time they meet so i worried about that. And then i was on the bus so much. I just got home and basically ran to my room. I cant take it, i feel like im going to explode I dont even want to go to school tomorrow, i just want to hide in my room. Anyone else with days where ur forced to be around people and feel like at any minute your going to run away screaming?? I just really need someone to talk to!

Yes, I feel and have felt this a lot during my life. Just keep telling myself to get on with it and everything will be all right and it generally is. Wish there was some magic pill to take this all away!

I totally get this way!! I need to make sure that I make it a priority to take time for myself because I get really out-of-sorts if I have to be around people too much....and I like people....I just get overwhelmed!! Taking a bath and just having some alone time really helps me if I've had a day like yours!! Good luck!

Yes i,ve had many days like this over the years too and like gail5 i just try and ignore it and just try to get get on with it.
I dont let it stop me from doing things for the most part.
I try and make my self make eye contact and smile or strike up a conversation, i find doing this alot helps take the fear away.
Why dont you mail me and let me know what really bothers you about being around people, i might be able to help.
Hugs!!

Yes.. I have been like this for a few years now. Anxiety can be crippling. The only thing that helps me is going to a room , preferably my bedroom and being alone until the anxiety subsides. I totally understand you...and I am here if you want to talk. Hugs~Debbie

Yep, totally know what that feels like. It is so weird sometimes how you can be screaming inside your head and yet remain composed on the outside(or thats what other people think). Dont worry yourself too much about it, loads of us have the same feelings and it can be really scary, especially if we have friends who dont really know what we are going through.

Anytime you feel like this just try and get yourself into a place where you can calm down, whether that be in your own house or when you are out try going into a toilet for ten mins. At least you will be alone and feel secure. Other than that keep writing in to this forum it will help.

Anytime you need to talk give me a shout, but i should warn you that i am on a different time zone, its 11.23pm here just now.

Good luck and keep your chin up!!!!!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
