I have those feeling too and my Dr is arranging for me to see someone. I have no friends that I can speak to as I have always been a loner. The few work mates that I have confided in now avoid me. I am so lonely but shy away from people. I feel afraid all the time and force myself to go to work each day and have no energy. I go to work I come home I sleep I used to read but cant even concentrate enough to do that. This has haunted me for so many years but as I have gotten older its harder to deal with. I am afraid all the time the world seems such a noisy and voilent place. I dread each day I wake up.
