I'm a lot like you, although i'm 23 and have no kids! But we sound very similar Oh yeah, I am from England but I live in America now.. so i guess this doesn't help
I had a PA 2 years ago.Have always been a slightly nervous person at times,but still i had/have a good social life (a drink helps).
I'm your friend,no worries
We are similar in age. I am 33 and I have 3 children. My partner does try to be understanding though does not always understand. I don't have panic attacks anymore, well not very often as I've learned to control them, but I still feel really bad going out and being around people. I have good patches like now where I'm out and about working and most people probably wouldn't realise I have a problem, although I still feel the anxiety. Then there are the times where I won't leave the house at all.
I'm not really a nightclub person, but do go out with friends sometimes. I find it really hard. My close friends know I'm not comfortable so that makes it a bit easier and not so embarrassing if I go home early. I prefer to do other stuff, cinema, meal out etc or a quiet drink in a quieter place. I find drink makes me feel out of control rather than calming and loud music and men sliming all over me sure does make me nervous! Maybe I'm unrealistic but that's what my (distant) memories of clubs are!
