Have had a terrible time of things the last 3 days. I hurt really bad. Had a family Christmas party today, could not handle all the people and confusion of the kids. Very dizzy and tired. I felt panic stricken and just wanted to run out. I stayed put and fought through the anxiety. I sometimes wonder what other people are thinking when I react so strangely to normal situations.

I totally understand how you feel... I always used to think that I was like a coin, with 2 sides of me... I also felt like I had a mask... you see no one knew what I felt or was thinking, I always felt very uncofortable in social gatherings, but I never let anyone know that... anyone who knows me will never even guess that I feel that way or that I suffer from anxiety and depression since I always have a smile and are very friendly and caring, everyone looks up to me... If they only knew.... I know that you know what I mean... we just have to go on, be parents and be strong!! just sharing this with you to let you know that you are not alone and that yes, other people do feel just like you.... I understand...
