Hi BEEPbeep,
I believe we can learn alot from other people so I'm going to share my experience. When I was a child until my mid twenties I was painfully shy. I suffered alot form my shyness and i also suffered panic attacks BUT I didn't know what it was and never told anyone. I wish my mother would have tried to encourage me, but she didn't and I don't blame her - she just accepted me, which is a good thing. I never told her about the panic attacks - I didn't even have a name for it. I also used to fake being sick when things got over whelming. I wish I recieved helped because now, looking back I missed out on all the fun things at school. I was trapped by my shyness and anxiety. Eventually in my 20's I manged to improve and mange it but I wish I had done it sooner. So please go to your doctor and share what's going on. A therapist can teach you how to manage this, so you can start enjoying life, instead of being afraid and missing out.
