Thank you guys very much. It's good to know I'm not alone. I usually will sit in the car and play on my phone to distract/calm myself until I am ready to go in. Unfortunately sometimes it takes an hour to do that. I think it's worse at some times like when I'm already having a bad anxiety day.

The time I actually walked back out, I went home and read a book for an hour to get my mind off the feelings and then I was able to go back and do what I needed.

ElsaMars, I had so much to talk about yesterday when I did intake at a mental health center that I didn't mention that issue. I was diagnosed with PTSD yesterday and may also have GAD and depression NOS. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in February. I'm sorry you deal with this too. I do wonder if I also have social anxiety though. I only had an hour so I had to get the big stuff dealt with first.
