i get that way too. sometimes when i have something to deal with head on i start to have a panic attack and want to give up on it. i just try to stay strong and do what ever it takes to keep myself level headed. just know when you are here you arent alone. there are plenty of us out there just like you

Then you should try to be with the people who make you feel better. I am a loner myself and being around people make me worse.

I agree with Isis. You should be around people that make you feel comfortable. I am a loner too, so I'm always worse around people - social anxiety.

I feel that way too. I just wrote a post called "I hear the silence."

I have a phobia of being alone. I try to ignore the anxiety, but it's there and I wish it would go away. I want to be with people all the time. It doesn't matter if they are strangers or not.

I feel the same way. My girlfriend and I live apart. It's great when we are together, but I get anxious when she leaves.

I also feel more anxious when I am alone, and safer if with other people. I don't know why that is. Maybe because when I had my first few serious panic attacks, I was alone when they happened. But, what you are saying makes perfect sense to me.

Being alone makes me anxious as well. I much rather like being around people, preferrably those I already know. Although, on occassion I will get anxious when I am out in public - not sure why this happens. Maybe I am stressed at that time.

I feel that way too! When i am by myself I get anxious and feel like i am all alone!! i know thats not the case but its still in my head!!! I just try to tell myself thats it really is just all in my head. My brain controls everything subconsciously and once you learn how to control your brain the thoughts are supposed to go away!! I still feel like I am alone but seriously its not true! i dunno!

I know the feeling. When I am alone, I am a little moree on edge but thats because I am in deep thought.

I love my mother with all of my heart but she just does not understand depression, anxiety or stress. And when she speaks, she often makes my nerves jump.I know she thinks shes helping though.


I know it seems like you write this all the time but Ill write it anyway, It will get better in time!

I was experiencing a lot of anxiety today. I hadn't slept all night and I keep thinking about all the things I'm doing wronga and how I need to work etc. etc. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and hear it in my ears. I started shaking really bad. I started breathing slowly and finally relaxed enough to get some much needed sleep.
Some people do make me more anxious than others and some situations are worse for me, like visiting my family. I always feel like they're judging me and they are so annoyed I'm not at the level they want me to be. Like maybe it's all in my head! I really understand where you're coming from!

Being alone makes me anxious too! Mainly because I start thinking too much and that in turn makes my OCD worse. My husband, pup and I are moving partly becuase of that, we live in an isolated area and I work from home, so I'm alone waaaay too much! I'm so thankful I have my puppy to keep me company during the day!

Some people and places make me extra anxious too. Makes it hard to want to go out sometimes which contradicts hating being alone...

I agree with everyone. Although I feel really guilty about wanting to be by my girlfriend and family, like i'm some kind of crutch. I know they don't mind but i hate having to depend on other people like that, it makes me feel weak.

You are so me! Yes, being by myself makes me very anxious and depressed. And if I get overwhelmed I just sleep. But if I go out with my fiance somewhere (usually the same restaurant because it it familiar to me) then I am ok.
