and yes it has gotten worse since the fibro..
Sometime, it's the noise, the crowd, the walking or the fact that I'd just plain wiped out.
I've gotten better about attending events, but truth be told, and if I had my preference, I'd rather stay home.
Well I lost the social anxiety but now have a fear of being in crowded rooms or stores or elevators. I go into a panic attack and can't breath.
I deal with it by carrying a Lorazepam to put under my tongue if I feel it coming on and also avoiding any triggers. If the store is getting crowded I just leave. So far this has helped a lot along with medication. Hugs, Keleee :)
You might try adding the amino acid GABA to your supplements as it calms the brain and is great for controlling anxiety.
I don't know about anyone else, but I really don't get lonely, I suppose because I don't want to see anyone, except my kids, and I see a lot of them. DS has been a real blessing to me, not so much because I was lonely, but just to give me some interaction with others. It's great, because I spend my day in pjs also. I just don't see any reason to get dressed. Makes life more simple and comfy.
When I was a child, there were no children to play with on my street, and I had no siblings. Then when I was 7, we moved to 7 acres in the country. I was still alone, as my parents didn't have my brother till I was 9, and I was a latchkey kid. So, I never really knew my brother. He was 6 when I moved out. I was always kinda a loner. I like being with one person at a time only, but if I only interacted online, that'd be fine with me.
I hate it when I have to go to the store, the noise, lights,sounds, it's just overwhelming. I get my stuff and get out asap! I don't think I'll ever leave the house once my kids are grown. Although, I do go to church on Sundays. If I was true agoraphobic, I couldn't do that I don't think. I don't panic or anything, just don't like loud sounds, or crowds, or even being around people. It drives my hubby crazy as well, because he's a party person, and I can't do parties!!!!
What would that be? Just anti-social?
