I'm taking my kids to a 3 yr. old girls birthday party today. I'm definitely taking my entire daily allowed dose of klonopin before we get there. I'm freaked out that with all the people I'll be uncomfortable & maybe end up having a panic attack. I tend to avoid crowded places cause it makes me feel panicky. I'm even nervous to drive lately cause I'm freaked out that I could have a panic attack while I'm driving on the freeway or something. I'm turning into one of those people who is scared to leave the house because it means I'll have to talk to people & that idea makes me so uncomfortable. Unless it's a one-on-one situation. I'm okay in those types of social situations. For some reason when there's more than a few people in one space I start to get that uncomfortable, nervous, hot & panicky. It's been a few years since my anxiety & panic attacks have been this often or this severe. I've also be irritable & agitated especially when there's more than one type of noise going on in one room (like several conversations going on at once or like when the tv is going and then someone is strumming a guitar at the same time). I feel almost like my 6 year old son when he gets overstimulated & has a tantrum & puts his fingers in his ears & then kind of shuts down.
