Hello,
I've been following these forums for quite awhile but have never told my story...
I'm 24 years old, I used to be super sociable and confident before I hit 20. Then things changed, I started to think deeply on what people thought of me and worry if I offended anybody. I find it really hard to sit in-front of people or talk face-to-face with somebody I don't know or haven't seen for awhile. It's affected my relationship with my girlfriend quite a bit, I find excuses to not go to restaurants or meet up with her friends for drinks/party etc.
I also suffer from anxiety related facial-hyperhidrosis, when I feel nervous or restless my heart starts to pound and I start to sweat badly which just makes me panic even more and find ways to run away from the situation.
I'm really stuck on what to do. My doctor suggests I try audio-books, my girlfriend/family don't understand, I want to find a new job because I hate my current job but I'm too scared to. I just want to start living the way I want my life to be. ONLY time i'm super confident is at the gym, I go 5 days a week, I still get nervous when I talk to people there so I start to sweat but because I'm in a gym and I should be sweating, I forget about it and become super confident
.
If anyone could point me to the right direction. I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks,
B.
