how do you handle yourself outside, in public places when you have ptsd

i have to go out shortly and i'm nervous, i have ptsd and find it hard to control my composure in public...i can easily feel unnerved and panicked at little things like seeing certain people, noise, crowds...and i feel flustered in places like shopping markets, i'll sweat a lot, not be self confident and feel unsure of myself too...i find it embarrassing because i worry people notice these things..

what do you think? and how can i not care what people think?

Sorry you experience that 🫤. I honestly feel like most people are too wrapped up in their own stuff to notice these days. And if they do notice, just know that its your way of coping with your trauma and its ok
