Hi I think I have been suffering from anxiety since I was about 12, im 24 now, but i've never had it confirmed. I hope someone on here can shed some light onto what my problem is. My symptoms are:
Feeling tense/nervous/on edge pretty much all the time
I feel very uncomfortable talking to people (sometimes even people I know fairly well)
I hate been in public places i.e shops ( I feel as though everyone is watching my every move)
I constantly worry/imagine that bad things are going to happen to my freinds and family
Im scared to stand up for myself
Im scared of trying new things as i'm convinced it will go wrong
Im constantly worrying that i've offended people in general conversation
I get irritated very easily
I have a very negative outlook on life in general
Physical symptoms:
Pounding Heart
Heavy Breathing
Wretching (When i'm at my worst)
Sleep problems
Shaking
I've now got to the stage where I feel this is taking over my life, does this sound like an anxiety problem? And if so what sort of anxiety?
