so i have major social issues... so bad to the point that if my boyfriend says "hey, want to go out tonight?" i immediately start panicking.... i'm talking full blown panic attacks.... even tho we aren't going out for HOURS, i'll sit and panic for the rest of the day until its time to go out. does this happen to anyone? and for some reason, it only happens when we go out at night. if we go out during the day, i'm fine... its just going out at night, bars, clubs, whatever... i start freaking out. i hate it! i want to be able to be social (even tho i don't drink) and have fun with people.... but NOOOOO i'm a big fucking loser who hides inside from life, whos too scared to go out and have fun cuz god forbid somethings going to happen. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! please tell me i'm not alone in this. why the fuck does this happen?????

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
What happens when you DO go out at night? Does that panicky feeling leave you and are you able to at least somewhat enjoy doing it? Do you do anything to combat your anxiety, when it's happening? Deep breathing, or anything like that?
I only have panic attacks once in a great while, but have anxiety most of the time. I was put on 1mg of Klonopin, but didn't think it helped much. So my Pdoc has recently put me on SeroquelXR for it. I was previously taking the regular Seroquel, which helped me sleep (loved it!), but the XR really DOES seem to be lessening my anxiety.
Good luck!!! I hope you lick this problem and have lots of fun living the night life!!!
Take care!!!
I have tried to get out of the house. I can go to ppls houses..I can even ..sometimes..go out at night without overwhelming anxiety. If given enough time to think about it...it's awful. I want my life back too! Not really a good help..just letting you know you are not alone..u did the same for me.
peace, teresa
