My boyfriend & I just woke up and decided to go to Tim Hortons (fast food) the last time we went to tim hortons I was ordering and he was in the passenger seat and I got nervous ordering for us in the drive thru and after he made fun of me for it (in a joking way) so this time going to get good and order for us I was extra nervous... I got nervous ordering for us and it showed and my boyfriend was sitting in the passenger seat laughing at me and I started feeling really anxious like I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing I could only focus on my emotions... I finished ordering and he was laughing and saying everything I did (once again in a joking way) but I didn't find it funny I kept telling him to be quiet but he didn't understand, my chest started getting really tight, my eyes watery and I couldn't stop thinking about how embarrassed I was on the drive home I couldn't get my mind off how I was feeling and I just started bawling my eyes out and hyper ventilating =(

Your boyfriend may not understand why you are so anxious. Have you been diagnosed by a psychiatrist yet? Maybe it would help to bring him along, I find it's easier for a doctor to explain your anxiety to other involved parties.

Mercedes is right. He may just not understand what you are going through. It does help to explain to others how you feel. The same thing happened to me recently with a friend of mine
We were at a restaurant eating and all of a sudden i felt like everyone in the restaurant was looking at me and laughing at me. I know that sounds self-centered but at the time, it seemed so real. I wanted to leave and walking back home, I was really scared they were all following me. My friend was telling me how ridiculous I looked and was laughing at me. I was really upset but didn't say anything. Later on I told her when we got home what happened and she was more understanding . She helps me a lot.
Letting your boyfriend know how you are feeling can help a lot I think.

Wow thanks guys, I guess I should have explained to him more why I was so uncomfortable but at the time I just wanted to hide in our room I was really embarrassed. I am gunna take that advice though and start sharing that stuff instead of trying to hide.
