I've never suffered from an anxiety problem before, but lately (last couple monthes or so) it's just been awful. I'm terrified to talk to people on the phone, even the thought of answering it when it's someone I know is enough to get my heart pupming. And I've had 5 massive panic attacks in the past two monthes, more than doubling the number I've had in my life (I've only had three before this). It's getting to the point where I don't ever want to leave my room, scared that I'll break down in public again (I had an attack during one of my classes, and had to run out. Luckily it was one of the classes that I don't know anyone in) It's like all my mental problems are coming at me at once, plus more. Can anxiety just come out of the blue like this? I thought it was something that you had, or you didn't. I've never known anyone who just develops them one day like I seem to be doing. And it couldn't have happened at a worse time, as I'm currently looking for a job, but am too scared to apply anywhere. So frustrating.
