In your initial post, you specifically mentioned social anxiety. If you suffer from social anxiety disorder or think you might, you should probably go see a specialist. There are definitely medications and support groups to help you with that. It's quite common.

From time to time I suffer from anxiety, but not that often. Just like CArmstrong said, you could see a specialist or take some medications.

I'm sure there are better forums you could 'check out'.

I suffer anxiety as well. I talk to people better when I am on the computer. I take a pill to help me from being anxious. It helps me not get depressed as much. The pill helps me with anger as well.

My dad suffers from anxiety, which is normally triggered by boredom. Is that the same in your case?

My wife just caught one going on with me yesterday. Or so she claims thats what it is, I dont think she knows what shes talking about. I was just sitting there (get these several times a week) and told her it was happening. She grabbed her stethascope and started checking me. She smiles and said it was an anxiety attack. I told her she was full of it, I dont have those because I had nothing to be anxious about. I assume you feel pressure in your throat and it feels like an elf in your chest with a sledgehammer trying to bang his way out?

If thats an anxiety attack, and nothing in particular seems to trigger it, I think they should rename it because thats a stupid name for it...

anxiety is very real and it will control you.WHATEVER you do dont take or drink anything that has Stimulants such as Caffeine.Best thing for you to do is see a doctor to see what might be causeing this.A stress test would be good to get to see how much your heart can take.I been getting them on and off for years and its not a good feeling.JUST take care of your self and you will be ok.

I took a nuclear stress test a few months ago, said I had an extremely strong heart. I want to do another, makes you feel like you just ran 5 miles while you havent moved a muscle. Thats a cool test..lol. I was like... hey, lets do that again

IS thats the one they inject you with a needle.IF it is i had 2 of them.THEY last 5 minutes and then the drug wears off right.

Could you consider hypnosis? At sub-conscious level you are not confident of something, and that continuous negative thought is turning into a avalanche which you can't stop at the conscious level. Normal therapy won't work because of that very reason, you need to tackle the sub-conscious level.
