Hi, Ive had the same feelings many times, even today. I closed my eyes and sat for 5 minutes. Felt like everyone was looking at me! It did pass though. Its horrible isnt it!

yea it is horrible feeling like something bad is gona hapen to you...:-)
It helps me to take couple big breaths ,
like you close my eyes and let that anxiety disapear....also when Im waiting in big line or waiting room I have always book with me...It relaxes me big time

I've felt it too. Another helpful thing is to ground yourself. Simply put your feet on the ground together and literally look at them and focus on where you are and why and talk to yourself like you are talking to the child within you - let you spirit talk to your mind - and calm yourself down like you would if it was someone else who was scared and you were comforting them. It worked for me.

joyville...Yea When I m surounded by people I have to work on my self...calming my anxiety,becouse somethimes it gets to the point I just run away....I remember once we all sit down at dinner with my ex family...I' was so uncomfortable I just left....felt like the chair I was sitting was on fire and people were watching me and thinking that Im idiot:-)

I actually use my ipod. When I feel like I am going to loose it, I pop in some tunes. I have to keep my mind stable or I start worrying, and well then I get nervous, then it all goes down hill from there.
