It sounds like you are experiencing a touch of overload. That experience is often a side effect from something else going on. Try to sort out what is making your anxiety higher at the moment to the extent that it is making you feel especially sensitive to what is outside of you. In the meantime try to slow down just a notch and focus on one contact and only to the extent that it feels comfortable. Maybe today isn't the best day for you to write. It's up to you what and how much you want to participate today.

I think it's because PC is so big. So many places to read and post, so many new members joining every day, sooo many members in general.

I have never done good in large groups of people in real life. They send me into panic mode. I just never thought it would happen in the virtual world.

I don't know what to do. I love PC, I really do and I'm not here I miss all the friends I have made and all the support I have received.
But when I am here I get overwhelmed and panicy.

I feel like such a freak... because I am terrified of the one place that can give me the support I so desperately need.
Thanks for this!
