Anxiety is the worst! I once was in a bar w/ friends and feeling completely "weird" the moment I walked in
*feeling like I was being stared at
*talked about
*laughed at
I got to the point of such panic and all at the same time trying to act "normal" That I ended up blacking out and actually fainting from it
RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BAR! and to make matters worse my friends say right b/4 I fainted I got up and was acting all weird and saying crazy things and then I went down and (it kills me to "say" this outloud) if everything that already happened wasn't bad enough I ended up peeing my pants when I fainted
they ended up calling the ambulance and it got crazy I had to go to the ER and all that bull...they thought I was on drugs and stuff but honestly I barley even drank one beer.
This is not the first time a attack in public happened, I had one at work so bad and I was so embarrassed I never even went back for my paycheck....they ended up sending it but it took forever
good luck with this issue just know you are deff. not alone!
