So I've had panic attacks and anxiety for years (nothing diagnosed, regarding anxiety anyways). The panic attacks occur when I am in certain social situations, typically around people I don't know or aren't comfortable with, in a place that makes that makes me uncomfortable. I do not avoid situations because of this though, i just have the extreme anxiety/panic attacks in them and try to cope and manage through it. Lately it has gotten bad again and I don't need another big aspect to my mental health to debilitate me or cause me further difficulty. I am fairly good at using cbt and dbt to manage anxiety, but then again I haven't had panic attacks like this for quite a while so it is very difficult. I am wondering though what kind of anxiety this is because it is an anxiety regarding a social situation(like social anxiety) but also includes panic attacks like panic disorder.. I wonder what sort of anxiety this would fall into..
