@TheUnderdog I used to get panic attacks, when around a lot of people. The first two times, I thought I was having a heart attack. 😅😅 I never experience that anymore, but I'm very anxious when I talk to people in general, and I think it makes me act weird. I don't have any problems interacting with others here on SW, because I've become so used to it now.
@Sheer i can really relate the panic attacks, i had them for the first time in the early hours of the morning after my mum passed away and also thought i was having a heart attack, i called an ambulance and they did a finger prick test to check what was going on and i also explained my situation, i had them for months after and used to walk to the hospital and just sit in reception because it made me feel safe, i drank so much water as well to try and feel better, i don't like to talk to a lot of people in life because its easier on my own though i do have a small circle of friends, dont worry about acting weird as thats how you see it but i am sure not everyone else does. i like this site though i have not been on here much lately

@TheUnderdog I'm sorry to hear all that. Panic attacks are horrible, even after you learn what's actually happening. It's awesome that you have a small circle of friends. I have my husband. I honestly think other people notice me acting weird too, some have even commented on it or eluded to it. 😂 I don't think people realize I'm anxious, just strange... I so much want to change that. And I don't come online here a whole lot either, not like some of the users who seem to be here all the time. But it's nice to socialize online every now and then. 😃
@Sheer thank you, indeed they are and i rarely have them these days but occasionaly i do but can deal with them better these days so all good. a small circle of good friends is all i need, a lot of people don't relate so may thinks its weird but hopefully that will change especially as mental health is so important to learn about, i like this site so will try to come on every day or so and maybe post stuff :)

@TheUnderdog Glad to hear it's less frequent now, and more managable for you. And good that you like this site. I think it can be quite entertaining, but I can also have too much of it sometimes. You should definitely make some posts. ^__^
@Sheer thank you, i will make some posts at some point lol
