Another Fan Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Anyone ever gone through this here/have elements of it. I’ve beaten it in the past but today was a little rough.
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I am a misanthropist. I'm not shy or anxious in any way in front of people. As a matter of fact, in college, all my public speaking classes were straight As (part of a journalism minor). However, I do dislike people (not persons). Maybe that is what you are feeling? I hope you feel better tomorrow. ? 4

Gray Beard Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I’ve had panic attacks occasionally for decades. Like once a month or less. I’m not sure if that is similar to SAD. I know in my head that there is nothing wrong, but I get hot, nervous, breathe fast, knees weak, tunnel vision, stomach gassy. They usually pass after a few minutes, and I have learned to wait them out. When it first started happening I was nervous that there was something wrong medically. Perhaps it’s related to hunger, thirst, too much coffee, or something like that, but I haven’t figured out a pattern. In my case, I think that worrying about them is worse than just relaxing and waiting for them to pass.

Might have made things worse if anything Think what you want to say and write it down. Practice it a couple time and go slow. Deep breaths. You know you can do it without getting up set. Take it slow. 2

Might have made things worse if anything I think it's common to get frustrated or have things not come out right if you are highly emotional or angry at the moment. Though I guess it was more than just that for you. Mead's advice to write things down and practice saying them out loud to the mirror is a good idea. Or maybe you can say them to another person you trust to make it seem more realistic (practicing). I have read about panic attacks but haven't experienced one myself. I would think that would be super frightening, at least until you are aware of them and learn to deal with them.
RaoulDuke79 Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) I've never had an official diagnosis, but as I grow older I'm getting more and more averse to large crowds or crowded places in general. Edited July 25, 2018 by RaoulDuke79 1

Might have made things worse if anything Instead of thinking of it as a “confrontation”, think of it as what it is....a “conversation”. That’s all. Don’t build it into more than what it really is.

stuvian Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I have a tendency toward paranoia which is exacerbated by the dynamics of my workplace
Augie Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I can become uncomfortable in a crowded caucophony at times. To step out and find some quiet let’s me regroup. Not all the time, but definitely sometimes.
Teddy KGB Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I ain’t scared to talk to anyone Ship me a few dollars and I’ll tell that boss of yours what time it is.
