So ever since the incident that happened a couple of night ago I've been having terrible social anxiety. I went to the mall to pick up clothes for my new job, and my chest and throat just started to get tight, and I got nervous. I tried to ignore it, so I could get what I need done but it never went away. I was so afraid that someone who saw me get peppered sprayed would see me and they would talk.. I felt like all eyes were on me.

Also, I haven't been hungry since that day. I don't know if it's the Ativan or what, but I have to force myself to eat. I've been more thirsty than anything, but no foods appeal to me.

I really need to see a therapist because I can't have this be my life now. I am a Party Girl! I go out, have drinks with friends, the life of the party. Heck, the place the incident happened at was one of the biggest parties of the weekend. Now just the mention of "Happy Hour" gives me anxiety. I don't want anyone to see me because I know they'll talk. I'm even afraid to go on Twitter or Instagram ( 2 sites I frequent) because of the talk. Maybe I'm just paranoid and maybe no one is talking, and no one cares, but I think they do so I'm afraid to show my face.

I'm sorry for all the posts, but my anxiety has never been this bad. Usually it's simple work stress, or something not going as planned, stress that I could meditate or pop a Xanax and be done with it. Right now I'm to the point where I'm afraid to leave the house, and when I do its not for long. I don't want to keep living like this.

Hmm the fact you keep mentioning prescription drugs and drinking in all your posts has me a bit worried. These are not two things you want to do together, trust me. I hope that you will seek out a professional who can help you deal with your anxieties. Till then, please try and stay safe and don't mix alcohol and prescription medication!

Thank you! I try my best to keep the alcohol and drugs separate. If I know I'm going to drink then it's not on a day I needed to take my meds, or long after its worn off. Even when I go out with friends they ask if I took my meds and if I have they won't let me drink.

That's great you have such supportive friends. My best friend is the same way with me and drinking..or she was when I was anti-depressants

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
