[fmmfl]

hi im new to this site. about a couple of years ago i noticed that everytime i would go to work my body would tense up really bad. i starting hearing things. eventually it got worse! i would hear ppl talking bout me as if i were standing right there with them. everytime i was out in public i would hear noises like me passing gas & i knew i wasnt but eventually it got to the point where i had convinced myself of this that my body will tense up as if i was gonna pass gas. i feel as if im going crazy! why is this happening to me?!?! please any suggestions!

Very normal symptoms of social anxiety, and very normal responses too. Read the sticky at the top of this forum on the basics of anxiety meds and take action.
