Who gets scared when they want t go out?

I have this weakness. I freak out when i want to leave the house for outdoors. Sometimes i just want to go buy something or meet a friend and my heart just wont stop beating. I guess i fear people or something

Sounds like a panic attack.

silentkev · 31-35, M

yes yes..but after im out there i start to fit in slowly by slowly then i eventually like it

@silentkev: It is probably best to remember how much you enjoy being out and go as often as you can.

silentkev · 31-35, M

@SweetMae: this is great, will add to the other tips i always use to get over the fear

I had this once after having some panic attacks while driving. Its really hard to get back out there but take your time and dont let it stress you out.

@SBelle: Actually im glad i found the support,i barely share with my regular male friends because they are noisy as hell and would not take it seriosly or they may think im womanly lol

Mondayschild · F

@silentkev: I understand what you are saying about male friends. But, I need to say that a lot of men have emotional issues if they are large or small. That male pressure thing must be pretty bad. A woman can at least vent without all that😁

@SBelle: yes.. i guess being born a man means you die with all the crap in you.. the world will have some good fun if you try to open up. Someone once encouraged me to cry if i feel like.. Last time i cried was in high school more than 10 years ago

Agoraphobia... I listened to an interview with John Cougar Mellencamp the other day, he has it, it can be quite disabling..

im surprised theres a name for it..i must google much about it now

Majorlatency · M

@silentkev: FYI there's a name for everything... Good luck, if it is a real issue for you and hinders your opportunity to enjoy life you should seek some medical help. Agoraphobia is treatable..

@Majorlatency: Thank you very much, this will take me far and i hope to be courageous enough to enjoy life as you recommend it

I'm the same way, but I know if I don't, I'm in worse trouble, so I make myself.

@silentkev: yeah, not fun. I've had about the worst case of GAD/Panic Disorder known to my doc, so if you need any advice, I'd be happy to give it. Really, the key is to pretty much do the opposite of how you feel.

silentkev · 31-35, M

@SarcasmQueen: it got that serious you had to see a doc? you cab drop me some tips, will be helpful to me and the others i see here

Social anxiety

silentkev · 31-35, M

social anxiety is not a disease right?

SW-User

@silentkev: Not a disease per say, but an anxiety disorder.

There is a phobia of open spaces or going out.

silentkev · 31-35, M

I am a victim i guess..

Loomfree · 31-35, F

every now and then I feel like this

silentkev · 31-35, M

my tip is, i take deep breaths and take a walk of faith hoping whatever im going for will end fast enough

sighmeupforthat · 46-50, M

silentkev · 31-35, M
